Albigenses

Enlarge picture
Illustration depicting the siege of Toulouse 1218, led by Simon de Montfort against the Albigenses, a Christian sect whose anti-Catholic stance provoked de Montfort's crusade against them.

Heretical sect of Christians (also known as the Cathars) who flourished in southern France near Albi and Toulouse during the 11th–13th centuries. They adopted the Manichean belief in the duality of good and evil and pictured Jesus as being a rebel against the cruelty of an omnipotent God.
