THE OCCITAN WAR

In 1209 Simon of Montfort led a war against the Cathars ofLanguedoc after Pope Innocent III preached a crusade condemningthem as heretics. The suppression of heresy became a pretext for avicious war that remains largely unstudied as a military conflict.Laurence Marvin here examines the Albigensian Crusade as militaryand political history rather than religious history, and traces thesedimensions of the conflict through to Montfort’s death in 1218. Heshows how Montfort experienced military success in spite of a hostilepopulace, impossible military targets, armies that dissolved everyforty days, and a pope who often failed to support the crusade morallyor financially. He also discusses the supposed brutality of the war,why the inhabitants were for so long unsuccessful at defendingthemselves against it, and its impact on Occitania. This originalaccount will appeal to scholars of medieval France, the Crusades, andmedieval military history.

Translation of names and places; calculationof distances

Until recently historians and other authors have simply anglicized mostmedieval personal names. Lately it has becomemore popular to leave namesin their original form. For this book I have adopted a middle ground,perhaps pleasing no one but myself, but at least it should be clear to thereader. Just like current names, the spelling of medieval personal namesoften had no uniform spelling or rationale to it, so I have not imposed anabsolute standard, though I have tried to be consistent in my inconsistency.French and Northern European personal names have been anglicized in theold-fashioned way. Occitan, Provencal, and Catalan names have been left insome form of the original, hence some people are called Peire and somePere, both equivalent to ‘‘Peter.’’ If the reader should accuse me of purposelydrawing a difference between regions, I plead guilty as charged. Too oftenthe Albigensian Crusade is presented as if the major figures sprang from acommon culture and language and inherently understood each other. Thisdoes an injustice to the variety of cultures and languages spoken by thepeople who crusaded and the people of the region in which theOccitanWartook place. Leaving names like Peter in a more exotic spelling (at least to theanglophone eye) hopefully will give the reader a sense of the vast culturaldifferences that existed. Some names are rendered in so many ways that Ihad to adopt a standard on a case-by-case basis. Perhaps the best example ofthis is the name commonly translated ‘‘Fulk.’’ Depending on the author,either medieval or modern, Fulk is presented as ‘‘Folc,’’ ‘‘Folq,’’ ‘‘Folque,’’‘‘Foulque’’ or ‘‘Folquet.’’ I have adopted the last usage.I have translated authors’ names on a case-by-case basis as well, but for

simplicity’s sake have for the most part anglicized them. Thus two impor-tant southern authors come over as William of Tudela and William ofPuylaurens, but James of Aragon is Jaume.Place names are rendered in their modern equivalents.I have been very careful about including distances to give the reader a

sense of how difficult it must have been to traverse this region in an era

where roads were dirt and horses available only to the wealthy.Unfortunately calculating actual road distance would have been a projectall on its own, and anyone who has traveled to the south of France knowswhat I am talking about. For those who have not, suffice to say that,particularly in places like the Black Mountains, the roads can be so curvyand full of switchbacks that places only a few kilometers apart straight lineare in reality many further apart in terms of actual travel distance, not evenfactoring in road grades as steep as 13 percent. In order for the reader tofollow easily, all distances have been calculated straight from point to pointusing Michelin maps # 234, 235, 240 and 246. All distances are reckonedfrom the medieval city center.

Preface and acknowledgments

‘‘But hasn’t that been done before?’’ was the question put tome by a colleagueas we sat at dinner after the last session for the day at the InternationalCongress of Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, Michigan, a few years ago. Likeher, those familiar with the Albigensian Crusade will wonder how this bookadds to what anglophone scholars such as Walter M. Wakefield, JosephStrayer, Jonathan Sumption and Michael Costen, and multi-volumeaccounts in French like Michel Roquebert’s, have said in the last thirty-fiveyears. That does not even count the contributions of popular authors likeZoe Oldenbourg, Stephen O’Shea, other novelists and rapidly growingInternet sites on the Cathars and the Crusade. The Crusade is certainly notunexplored territory, which is what my dinner companion really meant.Her question was a valid one, and she listened patiently as I explained the

necessity of one more book on the Albigensian Crusade. The crusades to theMiddle East have always had their long-view adherents, like Hans EberhardMeyer and Jonathan Riley-Smith. They have also been the subject of multi-volume projects like those edited byKenneth Setton. These long looks remainessential to understanding how the crusading concept began and evolved, theoutline of political and military events, the individuals involved, and totracing the development of East–West relationships over two hundredyears. At the same time, the perennial interest both scholars and the generalpublic have shown in the crusades has allowed historians to take the short-term approach to individual crusades such as the First, recently the Second,the Fourth, and the Fifth (the Third Crusade still eludes its monographer),events which by themselves took place over only a few years. Discussing theseindividual crusades in depth allows us to understand one distinct crusade as itunfolded over a couple of years without compressing the information andlosing nuance in order to get through hundreds of years of history.The Albigensian Crusade has not received the same treatment. Almost

always it has been written about in the long view. The works of Wakefield,Strayer, Sumption, Costen, and Roquebert discuss the crusade from the

mid-twelfth century, long before it began, to at least 1271, when the Count ofToulouse’s lands escheated to the French crown. While this is historicallysound, all of these accountsmiss two important things. First: their emphasis isso broad that themilitary campaigns appear as a sideshow to twomain events:the birth, development, and description of Catharism, and the Inquisitionwhich eventually destroyed it. Recent scholarly accounts of the AlbigensianCrusade like those of Malcolm Barber and Michael Costen relegate themilitary aspects to little more than a chapter. The historians mentionedthus far wrote the history they thought needed to be told. Their works remainpivotal to understanding the time, era, and historiography of the AlbigensianCrusade, and my debt to all of them remains considerable. Still, make nomistake: particularly between 1209 and 1218, the Albigensian Crusade was awar, and some believe a very nasty one even by medieval standards. It doesnot take much of an imagination to see that for the people who participatedor lived through it, the war took center stage over every other consideration.Yet we tend to de-emphasize it in accounts of the crusade.

The second limitation of scholarship on this subject is of this long view andbroad brush. The Occitan War was a complex series of military campaignsand not as easy to understand as some would have us believe. It is a story thatdeserves to be told without the obligation to tell it as part of a several-hundred-year period and in conjunction with innumerable other factors.The years 1209–1218 were by far the most militarily active, and the periodwhen the political and military situation was most fluid. It is also for theseyears that the sources for the war are at their best. In other words, just asindividual crusades to Outremer have their ‘‘numbers’’ or phases, so does theAlbigensian Crusade. The beginning of active military operations, in 1209, toSimon of Montfort’s death in 1218 definitely constitute a distinct phase.Although warfare continued for some years after the sustained entrance ofthe French crown into the mix, the war changed from what it had been since1209 into a more purely secular political struggle. This book then, is thehistory of a nine-year span, when war and all its attendant misery engulfed aregion and captivated historians and novelists forever after. The Catharheresy, the darling of those who study ‘‘the other,’’ plays a very small role inthis account, just as it did once the broadswords were withdrawn from theirsheaths and the first crossbow bolt shot before the walls of Beziers in 1209.

most of the places described in this book, while later a small faculty develop-ment grant helped me complete it. Jonathan Harwell, Judy Thompson,Xiaojing Zu, and Casey Roberson, the interlibrary loan librarians at BerryCollege, procured things I never thought possible to stick in themail. I thankCambridge University Press for agreeing to take on the project, especiallyMichael Watson and Simon Whitmore, as well as the anonymous readerswho read themanuscript for the press. One reader in particular was generouswith their criticisms and saved me from some embarrassing errors.Louis Haas, Thomas F. Madden, the late Donald E. Queller, Kristine

T. Utterback, and Roger L. Williams have served as mentors, friends, andinspiration for many years. John A. Lynn and Kelly De Vries firstsuggested a military history of the Albigensian Crusade might make agood book. I never forgot their suggestion and thank them for theirsupport in a tough spot. Michael Frassetto graciously agreed to read theentire manuscript late in the writing and offered both encouragement andcriticism on this and earlier projects. Diane Land of Berry College andRosemary Williams of Cambridge University Press provided invaluablecopy editing assistance. C. Derek Croxton critiqued some of the earlychapters. Heather Henderson and Alex Fordney made many copies andordered dozens of books for me. My friends and colleagues in the BerryCollege department of history, Jonathan M. Atkins, Christy J. Snider, andthe late Amy J. Johnson supplied constant support, read the early chaptersand forced me to address my ideas to a wider audience. Amy’s editorialexpertise was particularly helpful, and I still mourn her loss to Berry andthe profession. I also thank the First Floor Evans lunch group, especiallyPeter Lawler, Michael Papazian, and Kirsten Rafferty for providing manyyears of socializing, laughter, and gossip. Joseph Gaygi, Louis A. Le Blanc,David J. Snyder, Daniel A. Swan, and Sean M. Tyson earn my gratitudenot only for their long friendship with me but also for never taking me tooseriously.I offer my greatest thanks for the support and example of my family.

I dedicated this book to two people though I acknowledge three here. Myfather showed me the nobility of hard work no matter what the task. Myson showed me the virtue of pursuing a noble goal even in the face ofadversity. Not only did my wife Alicia draw the maps for this book butmore than twenty years ago she took a leap of faith to follow me from asmall town inWyoming to the Ivory Tower. I thank her for more than twodecades of marriage and the love and confidence she has given me.
