Los Cátaros, la Herejía Perfecta

Synopsis of Los Cátaros, la Herejía Perfecta

«Los Cátaros, la Herejía Perfecta» is the historical essay by Stephen O'Shea, published by Ediciones B in hardcover, with 358 pages and in Spanish.

Stephen O'Shea narrates the history of the Cathars, a medieval movement that defied the Church. They defended the equality of women, tolerance of creeds and free love. Innocent III promoted military campaigns between 1209 and 1229 that exterminated the heresy, and O'Shea presents it as an example of religious intolerance in medieval France.

This edition is the Spanish translation of The Perfect Heresy: The Revolutionary Life and Death of the Medieval Cathars, a work originally published in 2000.

A read for those interested in medieval European history, heresy and the power of the Church.
