Montségur—The Hidden History and Secrets of the Cathars

The shocking history of the relationship between the Cathars of Montségur and the Roman Church is explored by Catherine de Courcy. The Cathars, peaceful Christians living in the South of France, were suppressed and slaughtered by the Roman Catholic Church until their way of life was eliminated. Published historical evidence of this slaughter is limited and mostly from the point of view of the Roman inquisitor. This book comes from the Cathars’ point of view.

Montségur entirely escapes the mould. Congratulations. I read it in one sitting, so pleased was I by the inexorable forward movement of the plot and by the clever framing of the narrative... Deathbed Esme and William Belibaste was an inspired idea... Also inspired: the story-stones possessed by Esme and her pals. It was a wholly believable slice of the supernatural. I wondered how de Courcy would deal with Montsegur, March 1244—after all, we all know what happened. Imagine my surprise when presented with a bravura plot! Truly very good, novelistic stuff. Catherine de Coucy escaped retelling and made the story her own. Great read!
