About this book

Heresy, Crusade, and Inquisition in Southern France 1100-1250 examines the rise of heresy in the Languedoc region, the Albigensian Crusade, and the early years of the Inquisition, focusing on the social and religious dynamics that shaped this turbulent period. Initially conceived as an introduction to William Pelhisson’s chronicle—a key firsthand account of the Inquisition in Toulouse—the project expanded into a broader historical study, incorporating Pelhisson’s work and other primary documents as appendices. Drawing on the foundational research of scholars like Herbert Grundmann, Antoine Dondaine, and Yves Dossat, the book provides an accessible synthesis for English-speaking readers, blending analysis of dissent, suppression, and institutional authority with translations of key texts. While rooted in medieval events, the book highlights enduring themes of ideological conflict and authority, offering insights valuable to both scholars and general readers.

This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1974.
