Cathars, crusade, castles, inquisition, pyres... so many terms and images are associated with the Albigensian Crusade (1209-1229). This series of historical events that swept through the South of France had a great influence on the construction of contemporary southern identity and left an often dramatic vision of the 13th century in Toulouse and Occitania: defeated by the crusaders from the north, the South would have lost its soul and its independence to the kings of France.
For this first major exhibition devoted to this subject in Toulouse, the exhibition is spread across two locations: the Musée Saint-Raymond and the Couvent des Jacobins. At the Musée Saint-Raymond, the first part is devoted to the multiple reasons that encouraged the escalation towards the crusade. In a large scenographic frieze, the following sequence details the events and twists and turns of the Albigensian Crusade itself, from the sack of Béziers to the final battles of the Count of Toulouse, Raymond VII.
At the Couvent des Jacobins, the presentation questions the notion of "Catharism" without omitting anything from the historiographical renewal and current debates.
