505 0 The world of Bernard Délicieux -- The years of revolt --
The time of repression.
520 In 1300, the French region of Languedoc had been cowed
under the authority of both Rome and France since Pope
Innocent III 's Albigensian Crusade nearly a century
earlier. That crusade almost wiped out the Cathars, a
group of heretical Christians whose beliefs threatened the
authority of the Catholic Church. But decades of harrowing
repression, enforced by the ruthless Pope Boniface VIII ,
the Machiavellian French King Philip the Fair of France,
and the pitiless grand inquisitor of Toulouse, Bernard Gui
(the villain in The Name of the Rose), had bred
resentment. In the city of Carcassonne, anger at the
abuses of the Inquisition reached a boiling point and a
great orator and fearless rebel emerged to unite the
resistance among Cathar and Catholic alike. The people
rose up, led by the charismatic Franciscan friar Bernard
Délicieux and for a time reclaimed control of their lives
and communities. Having written the acclaimed chronicle of
the Cathars The Perfect Heresy , Stephen O'Shea returns to
the medieval world to chronicle a rare and remarkable
story of personal courage and principle standing up to
power, amidst the last vestiges of the endlessly
fascinating Cathar world.
