La chanson de la croisade contre les Albigeois by Guillaume and Anelier
"La chanson de la croisade contre les Albigeois" by Guillaume and Anelier is an epic poem written in Occitan between 1208 and 1219. This chronicle of 9,578 verses recounts the Albigensian Crusade's invasion of Languedoc, from the assault on Toulouse through Simon de Montfort's death. Two authors tell opposing sides: Guillaume de Tudèle, a cleric sympathetic to crusaders yet horrified by their massacres, and an anonymous poet who defends Occitan values against
the invasion, chronicling battles and sieges with passionate conviction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
