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.
