The Albigensian Crusade, led by Simon De Montfort (Elder), was a brutal conflict that took place in the 13th century. The Siege of Carcassonne in 1209 is depicted in Jean-Paul Laurens' painting, showcasing the intensity and violence of the battle. St. Dominic de Guzman played a significant role during this time, as seen in an oil painting from 1493-99 where he confronts the Albigensians with conviction. The Capture of Beziers by the Crusaders is vividly portrayed in a chromolitho image from 1209, illustrating the merciless nature of war. In another artwork from around 1495, St. Dominic presides over the burning of heretics, emphasizing religious fervor prevailing over dissenting beliefs. St. Dominic's dedication to combating heresy is further highlighted when he presents a book professing true faith to those influenced by Albigensian teachings. Simon de Montfort's triumph at Beziers on July 22nd, 1209, is captured in an engraving that immortalizes his military success. Amidst this crusade against heresy, there were instances like "The Insults offered to Prisoners" episode in 1211 that showcased acts of cruelty and humiliation towards captives. Simon de Montfort himself was an influential figure during this period and can be seen portrayed in various artworks such as Receuil des Estampes' depiction from c1165-1218. This conflict had far-reaching consequences beyond battles; it shaped history and impacted society greatly. The Ms Lat 8878 folio showcases Adam and Eve alongside Christ's genealogy - reminding us how deeply intertwined religion was with every aspect of life during this time. One pivotal moment occurred during the Battle of Muret in 1213 when King D. Pedro II lost his life fighting for Aragon - an event immortalized in an engraving.
