Albigenses
Albigenses. A medieval term for the inhabitants of parts of S. France applied to the heretics who were strong there in the late-12th and early-13th cents. They were a branch of the Cathars. They were condemned by successive councils from 1165 onwards, and Innocent III authorized a Crusade against them. The N. French forces were opposed not only by those who sympathized with heresy but a large part of S. French society. In 1233 the Inquisition began effective action against the heretics and by 1300 few survived. For their beliefs, see CATHARS.

Albigenses
Albigenses the members of a heretic sect in southern France in the 12th–13th centuries, identified with the Cathars. Their teaching was a form of Manichaean dualism, with an extremely strict moral and social code including the condemnation of both marriage and procreation. The heresy spread rapidly until ruthlessly crushed by the elder Simon de Montfort's crusade (1209–31) and by an Inquisition.
The name is from medieval Latin, from Albiga, the Latin name of Albi, the town in southern France where the Albigenses originated. |

Albigenses
Albigenses. A branch of the Cathars of S. France. Christian dualist heretics, Pope Innocent III failed to convert them; a savage Crusade, led by Simon de Montfort, went on until 1218; and in 1233, the Dominican Inquisition undertook to eliminate them. Their main centre was Albi (hence the name); they may have had remote ancestry in the teaching of Maṇi.
