View into the Albigesian wars - fire, sword and the cross of Occitania

During the next century the number of cases of discovered heretic communities increased in western and central Europe. In 12th century, the southern french region of Occitanie was found by suprised catholic Church as a land with very enlarged dualist heresy. From the beginning the church tried to challenge this situation, which was considered as increasingly endangering of Good order, by means of mission activity and relied on local nobelman and sovereigns.

This resulted in the assassination of papal legate Pierre de Castelnau.

The result of this decision threw southern France into the war which took...

It will concentrate mainly on various aspects of its everyday routine, such as supply, accommodation, camp fortification, a structure of command and camp management, but also on camp equipment. It will be founded on written and visual sources, as well as on normative and narrative (historiographical) records. The thesis will also introduce individual military orders. In more detail, it will be concerned with armour, clothing, and personal equipment of people dwelling in a military camp. Apart from this, it will focus on the issue of women and children (especially on their role and position) in a military camp.

Key Words: hussite, Bohemia, supply, fortification, clothing, camp, the Middle Ages.
