• Resumen

  • The Albigensian crusade represents a classic but largely neglected example of the most common type of war in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the siege. An analysis of the sieges helps correct the current absence of work on the military aspects of the Albigensian crusade. Such an analysis places the crusade more firmly in the context of the siege warfare paradigm for the middle ages as well as in the historiography of warfare in western Europe during the High Middle Ages.
