Quatrième de couverture

Did you know that the word « Cathar » has been used only since the 19th century in reference to the 13th century supporters of a faith and a religious practice which the Catholic papacy considered to be dangerously heretical ? Did you know that almost everything that we know about the Cathars comes from interrogations carried out by the Inquisitors in the name of the Catholic Church ? Did you know that, thanks to this religious conflict, the Kingdom of France was able to extend its domination over southern Occitan ?

In this book, Claude Lebédel describes as clearly as possible the historical, cultural and religious context, as well as the events which marked this tragedy, cast into the darkest recesses of history between the 13th and 19th centuries, and around which a certain amount of mystery has grown. Tourists or visitors wishing to follow in the footsteps of the Cathars will find suggestions to help them in their search for a cultural and historical Cathar itinerary.
