Nearly a century had passed since Languedoc had been put to the sword in the Albigensian Crusade, but the stain of Catharism still lay on the land. But repression bred resentment and it was in Carcassonne that resistance began to stir. Any accusation of Catharism invited peril.
Three years later the terrible prisons were stormed and the inmates set free. In 1300 a great orator emerged who brought together the currents of resistance. The orator was a Franciscan friar, Bernard Delicieux.
The forces ranged against Delicieux included the ruthless Pope Boniface VII, the Machiavellian French King Philip IV and the grand inquisitor of Toulouse Bernard Gui (the villain of The Name of the Rose). This magnificent book, which forms a kind of sequel to Stephen O'Shea's bestselling The Perfect Heresy, tells his inspiring life and tragic story.
