More and more, as we come to mark changes and distinctions of temper in what is often in one all-embracing confusion called the middle age, this rebellious element, this sinister claim for liberty of heart and thought, comes to the surface. The Albigensian movement, connected so strangely with the history of Provencal poetry, is deeply tinged with it.
Position of Beziers S. Nazaire The Albigenses Their tenets Albigensian "consolation" Crusade against them The storming of Beziers Massacre Cathedral of Beziers Girls' faces in the train Similar faces at Narbonne, in Cathedral and Museum Narbonne a Roman colony All the Roman buildings destroyed Caps of liberty Christian sarcophagi Children's toys of baked clay Cathedral unfinished Archiepiscopal Palace Unsatisfactory work of M. Viollet-le-Duc In trouble with the police Taken for a German spy My sketch-book gets me off.
A war, distinguished even among wars of religion by merciless atrocity, destroyed the Albigensian heresy, and with that heresy the prosperity, the civilization, the literature, the national existence, of what was once the most opulent and enlightened part of the great European family.
However, we need not be surprised at the poverty of a region which has had to undergo Albigensian crusades, English occupation, wars of religion, and a revolution. Some of the great early libraries of Germany were mentioned in our historical survey. Fulda and Lorsch were as remarkable as any.
