«La verdadera historia de los cátaros» is the historical essay by Anne Brenon, published by Planeta DeAgostini in hardcover (221 pages, in Spanish).
Anne Brenon recovers unknown Cathar writings and sets them against inquisitorial records preserved in archives and libraries. The work argues that the usual account of Catharism has been distorted and that this manipulation runs through the historical transmission of that movement.
Published in 2005, it belongs to the collection «Enigmas históricos al descubierto». Translated by Manuel Serrat Crespo from the French original «Les cathares»; includes bibliography (pages 217-221).
Recommended for fans of medieval history and the Cathar heresy, as well as for those who enjoy critical review of sources.
