The Albigensian Crusade by Jonathan Sumption
In twelfth century Languedoc a subversive heresy of Eastern origin flourished to an extraordinary degree. The Albingenses believed that the world was created by an evil spirit, and that all worldly things - including the Church - were by nature sinful. This title examines the roots of the heresy.
