| Description | This interactive map shows settlements in Languedoc in which Cathar religious, known as heretici in the inquisitorial registers, are attested to have dwelt publicly in houses they owned or rented. The period covered ranges from the oldest memory going as far back as 1175 up until the fall of the castrum of Montségur in 1244. After Montségur, no evidence can be found for the survival of overt Cathar houses in Languedoc; Cathar Christians could no longer live publicly and were forced to live as itinerant fugitives. This change was already ongoing in the 1230s. |
