The Forgotten Crusade That Changed Medieval History

FULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/dwRNSarfNLk

Uncover the riveting story of "The Forgotten Crusade That Changed Medieval History" in this insightful episode. Join us for a deep dive into the Albigensian Crusade, a brutal and pivotal conflict that reshaped the medieval world. This critical examination explores the rise of the Cathars, a religious group that defied the Catholic Church with their dualist beliefs, simple lifestyles, and rejection of materialism. Learn how their growing influence in the Languedoc region sparked a crusade fueled by faith, greed, and power struggles.

We unravel the dramatic events—from the siege of Béziers to the fall of Montségur—that saw tens of thousands killed, the Church’s dominance solidified, and southern France forever changed. Was this truly a holy war, or was it a calculated land grab by Rome and northern French nobles? Could the Cathars have held secret knowledge, like the Holy Grail or Gnostic texts, that the Church sought to suppress? Drawing on historical accounts and analyzing enduring conspiracy theories, we unpack the layers of this often-overlooked chapter in history.

This must-watch episode provides a unique perspective on the intersection of power, faith, and culture in the medieval era. What do you think—was this a fight for religious purity, or a cover for political ambitions? Let’s keep the conversation going in the comments.
