Inquisition, Part 6: Béatrice de Planissoles (continued)

Béatrice de Planissoles continues to tell Bishop Jacques Fournier about her history with heresy, sorcery, sex, drugs, etc.

Thank you to Professor Nancy Stork for her English translations of parts of the Fournier register, which you can find at the links below.

Beatrice's trial: https://www.sjsu.edu/people/nancy.stork/courses/c4/s1/Beatrice_de_Planissoles

Barthelemy's trial (Beatrice's most recent boyfriend): https://www.sjsu.edu/people/nancy.stork/courses/c4/s1/Barthelemy_Amilhac

Grazide's trial (the girl whose husband didn't object to her affair with the priest, Pierre Clergue): https://www.sjsu.edu/people/nancy.stork/courses/c4/s1/Grazide_Lizier

Still more trials: https://www.sjsu.edu/people/nancy.stork/jacquesfournier/

(The woman who called Beatrice "eyebrowy," named Alazaïs Azéma, was also put on trial, but hers hasn't been translated into English as far as I know.)

If you know French and you'd like to read other parts of the Fournier Register, get in touch with me (cat.pierro@gmail.com) and I'll help you locate Jean Duvernoy's translation. I have not yet been able to find the Fournier Register in the original (Latin).

I am also very much indebted to Emmanuel le Roy Ladurie for his seminal book about Montaillou.
