Subject: Re: [HWE] Cathar records in Toulouse

You certainly seem to know the area. None-the-less, this whole area, by
whatever name, was Cathar.

Giselle

At the risk of being pedantic, could I point out that Toulouse is in the
Haute Garonne departement (No 31in the French system), not in the Aude. The
Aude (no11) is on the Mediterranean coast, between the Herault (34) and the

Pyrenees Orientales (66). These 3 departements are 5 of the ones that make
up the Languedoc region. I mention the departement numbers because the
French record system seems to use them quite often, in my experience.

>From my limited knowledge of the Cathars, there was a siege of Carcassonne,

Aude during the Albigensian crusade and a massacre in Beziers, Herault. The

watchword at Beziers and I may be paraphrasing was 'Kill them all, God will

recognise his own'.
