The Albigensian Crusade and the Battle for Christendom
In A Most Holy War, historian Mark Pegg has produced a swift-moving, gripping        narrative of this horrific crusade, drawing in part on thousands of testimonies        collected by inquisitors in the years 1235 to 1245. He shows how a millennial fervor        about "e;cleansing"e; the world of heresy, coupled with a fear that Christendom was        being eaten away from within by heretics who looked no different than other        Christians, made the battles, sieges, and massacres of the crusade almost        apocalyptic in their cruel intensity. In responding to this fear with a holy        genocidal war, Innocent III fundamentally changed how Western civilization dealt        with individuals accused of corrupting society. This fundamental change, Pegg        argues, led directly to the creation of the inquisition.
