| Until quite recently the Trencavel family, one of the major dynasties of twelfth-century Occitania (now southern France), was virtually unknown to scholars outside of a narrow circle of specialists in regional history. Now, after Hélène Débax's recent thesis, La féodalité languedocienne XIe-XIIe siècles: Serments, hommages et fiefs dans le Languedoc des Trencavel (2003), Elaine Graham-Leigh's book focuses on the family's destruction in the first months of the Albigensian Crusades. |
