About This Book

A partisan monk's chronicle offers an eyewitness account of the rise and spread of a heterodox movement in southern France, the Church's preaching and admonitions, and the armed campaign mounted against its adherents. It describes the recruitment of crusaders, sieges, battles, public punishments and massacres, and numerous local incidents and anecdotes that illuminate the period's moral atmosphere. The narrative is marked by fervent bias in favor of the crusading leaders, emphasizing their successes and motives while downplaying internal disputes among their ranks and the perspectives of those labelled heretics.

About the Author

Petrus, Sarnensis portrait

Sarnensis Petrus

Petrus Sarnensis was a medieval chronicler known for his work on the Albigensian Crusade, a significant conflict in the early 13th century aimed at eradicating the Cathar heresy in southern France. His notable book, "Histoire de l'hérésie des Albigeois, et de la sainte guerre entreprise contre eux de l'an 1203 à l'an 1218," provides a detailed account of the events surrounding this religious war, reflecting the complexities of faith and power during that era. Sarnensis's writings contribute to our understanding of the historical and theological landscape of medieval Europe.
