Synopsis of La maldición de los Trencavel, Tomo 1: Adélaïs, condesa de Toulouse

In the year of grace 1168, under the reign of Louis VII, the south of France is experiencing a fratricidal struggle. The lords and the Roman and Cathar churches are waging a fierce war. In this troubled climate, Roger de Trencavel, viscount of Albi, Carcassonne and Béziers, resists the attacks of the Count of Toulouse, who claims rights over his property and titles. To preserve the land of his ancestors, the young viscount multiplies pacts. With the support of King Alfonso of Aragon, he forces Toulouse to negotiate. A woman will seal this alliance: Adélaïs, Countess of Toulouse, whom the powerful Raimon V offers as a pledge of friendship to his most faithful enemy. But the young wife harbors another passion. A devouring love that could take with it all hopes of peace.
