Albigensians
From Freepedia
(Redirected from Albigeois)
Albigensians (French: Albigeois) literally means the inhabitants of Albi, France. However, the term was used to refer to the followers of Catharism, a Gnostic-like religious movement of southern France in the 12th and 13th century. The name originates from the end of the 12th century, and was used in 1181 by the chronicler Geoffroy du Breuil of Vigeois. The name is somewhat misleading as the center of the religious movement was really Toulouse.
