“THEY ARE WORSE THAN SARACENS WITH THEIR STRONG HAND AND THEIR ARM STRETCHED IN FIGHT": MULTIFACETED CONTEXT OF THE ALBIGENSIAN CRUSADE

Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 48

Abstract

The Albigensian Crusade was an internal campaign against the Albigensian/Cathar heretics in the south of France through the alliance of the Papacy and French Monarchy between 1209 and 1229. The Albigensians posed a great threat to the institutional Church with their unorthodox beliefs such as the rejection of baptism and church hierarchy. The reasons for the Albigensian Crusade are still a source of debate among the historians though there are many studies on the subject. This paper will try to contextualise the Albigensian Crusade by examining multifaceted factors that resulted in the mass persecution of the heretics. It will be argued that it is crucial to discuss the interaction of various factors such as the rising power of the Papacy, Crusading ideology, medieval heresy and socio-economic and political conditions in the region to understand fully the Albigensian Crusade.
