«Comprendre la tragédie des cathares» is the historical essay by Claude Lebédel, published by Le Grand Livre du Mois in hardback (127 pages).
Historical popularisation about the Cathars, a religious movement from the Occitan south declared heretical by the Catholic Church in the 13th century. The book draws on Inquisition records, debunks legends and explains how this conflict allowed the kingdom of France to extend its dominion over the region.
Published in French in 1999, it includes numerous colour photographs by Catherine Bibollet.
Aimed at readers interested in medieval history and at those wishing to follow Cathar routes and fortresses in southern France.
