Paris Masters and the Justification of the Albigensian Crusade¹

Much of the research for this article was done with the generous support of the Fulbright and Thouron foundations and the Visiting Scholar program at Northwestern University.

¹ I would like to thank Christoph Maier and Nicole Bériou for generously lending me critical transcriptions of the sermons of Philip the Chancellor and Odo of Châteauroux delivered during Louis VIII’s crusade, soon to be published in the Classiques de l’histoire de France series under the title Le sources de la croisade Albigeoisie de 1226. I will cite these sermons by their author, title or incipit, and number as listed in Johannes Baptiste Schneyer, Repertorium der lateinischen Sermones des Mittelalters, für die Zeit von 1150–1350, 11 vols. (Münster, 1969–89) (hereafter Schneyer). The suggestions of the Crusades’ anonymous readers also proved most helpful in revising this article; all errors remain mine alone.
