Albigensian Crusade

The Albigensian Crusade was a series of military campaigns that began in 1209 against the Cathars, a religious group that the Catholic Church considered heretical, in the southern French region of Languedoc. It matters historically as a significant example of religious conflict in medieval Europe and resulted in the suppression of Catharism and major political changes in southern France.
