Heresy, Inquisition and Life Cycle in Medieval Languedoc (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781903153529)

Religion amongst ordinary men and women in Languedoc in the High Middle Ages is the subject of this book. Focusing on laypeople attached to the Cathar movement, it investigates the interplay between heresy and orthodoxy, and between spiritual and secular concerns, in people's lives, charting the ways in which these developed through life cycle: childhood, youth, marriage and death. It also explores the effects of the Albigensian Crusaders and the inquisitors who followed in their wake.
