We look at the record of one woman's inquisition and use at as a lens to consider Montaillou, a small village that remained a bastion of Cathar heresy a century after the Albigensian crusade tried to eliminate it. 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/ 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.
