The Cathars
The Cathars, a beautifully illustrated volume by the leading author on the subject, unveils the mysteries surrounding the Cathars, their links with the Knights Templar, the Troubadours, and the search for the Holy Grail.
Catharism was the most successful heresy of the Middle Ages. The Cathars believed themselves to be heirs to the true Christian heritage, completely rejecting the Catholic Church and all of its trappings, and holding their services in fields, barns and people's homes.
Alarmed at the movement's spread, the Catholic Church founded the Inquisition and launched the Albigensian Crusade β the first to be directed against fellow Christians β which succeeded in exterminating virtually all trace of Catharism and was the first European act of genocide.
The Cathars by Sean Martin explores this fascinating chapter in history, shedding light on the beliefs and practices of the Cathars, their persecution, and their enduring legacy.
