Inquisition, Part 7: Stop Snitching
Manage episode 418759752 series 3561530
This is the epilogue to the episodes about Béatrice de Planissoles, in which she and other friends of ours return to denounce the archvillain--or hero?--Bernard Clergue.
The material comes from the record of Bernard Clergue's trial in the Fournier Register. For some of the context, I am indebted to the incredibly detailed research of René Weis, whose book The Yellow Cross answered almost all my questions about the Fournier Register.
Thank you to Professor Nancy Stork for her English translations of parts of the Fournier register, which you can find at the links below.

I am also very much indebted to Emmanuel le Roy Ladurie for his seminal book about Montaillou.
