Sinossi
Marked by massacres and acts of appalling cruelty, the Albigensian Crusade of 1209–29 is infamous for its brutality. Instigated by the Catholic Church against the Cathar heretics of southern France, these deeds are commonly ascribed to the role of religious fanaticism. Led by Simon de Montfort until he was killed in action at the siege of Toulouse, the ritual burnings and death toll of over 200,000 meant that the Albigensian Crusade was one of the inspirations for the term ‘genocide’.Kill Them All is the first account to offer a dedicated military history of the whole crusade, and in so doing it refutes this old view. By telling the story of the crusade through its dramatic sieges, battles and campaigns, and offering expert analysis of the warfare involved, the author reveals the crusade in a new light – as a bloody territorial conquest in which acts of terror were perpetrated to secure military aims rather than religious ones. The result – this extended second edition – is an exciting and at times disturbing book that tells the dramatic military events of the crusade and its leading characters – Simon de Montfort, Louis the Lion, Innocent III, Peter of Aragon, Count Raymond of Toulouse – through the voices of those contemporary writers who experienced it.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The first book to provide a military history of the whole Albigensian Crusade, covering vital overlooked battles. The bloody Albigensian Crusade launched against the Cathar heretics of southern France in the early thirteenth century is infamous for its brutality and savagery, even by the standards of the Middle Ages. It was marked by massacres and acts of appalling cruelty, deeds commonly ascribed to the role of religious fanaticism. Here, in the first military history of the whole conflict, Sean McGlynn tells the story of the crusade through its epic sieges of seemingly impregnable fortresses, desperate battles and destructive campaigns, and offers expert analysis of the warfare involved, revealing the crusade in a different light as a bloody territorial conquest in which acts of terror were perpetrated to secure military aims rather than religious ones. The dramatic events of the crusade and its colourful leading characters Simon de Montfort, Louis the Lion, Innocent III, Peter of Aragon, Count Raymond of Toulouse are brought to life through the voices of contemporary writers who fought and experienced it. AUTHOR: Sean McGlynn is a lecturer in medieval history and a leading authority on medieval warfare. His previous books include Blood Cries Afar: The Magna Carta War and the Invasion of England, 1215-1217 (The History Press) and By Sword and Fire: Cruelty and Atrocity in Medieval Warfare.
