Alvira Cabrer, Martín, “Prisoners of War in the Albigensian Crusade, 1209-1229”, e-Strategica. Revista de la AIHM (siglos IV-XVI), 1 (2017), pp. 269-284.
Abstract
The Albigensian Crusade is generally considered a brutal war because of the manner in which both sides treated the enemy, especially the prisoners. This article analyzes the causes of this apparent absence of war conventions. From the examples taken from the narrative sources, we also describe the different destinies (captivity, execution, liberation, exchange, rescue ...) that the prisoners of this war faced.
