商品簡介
For all the medievalist ink devoted to crusade, heresy, and inquisition, says Smith (medieval history, Saint Louis U., Missouri), little attention has been paid to the phenomena in Aragon of the 12th and 13th centuries, which saw the Albigensian crusade, the spread of heresy in Catalonia, and the beginnings of an inquisition that later became the most famous and feared (if unexpected) in the world. He covers the defeat of the Crown of Aragon, wars north and south 1213-76, heretics in the lands of the Crown and beyond, Waldensians and the Catholic poor, and inquisitions in the Crown of Aragon.
