France, Feudal, Viscountship of Béziers, Roger I Trencavel, 1130 - 1150
|France|, |France,| |Feudal,| |Viscountship| |of| |Béziers,| |Roger| |I| |Trencavel,| |1130| |-| |1150|, From the 10th to the 12th century the viscounts of Béziers ruled most of the nearby coastal plain, including the city of Agde. They also controlled the major east-west route through Languedoc, roughly following the old Roman Via Domitia, with the two key bridges over the Orb at Béziers and over the Hérault at Saint-Thibéry.

Béziers was stronghold of Catharism, which the Catholic Church condemned as heretical. Albigensian crusaders gave the Catholics in the city an ultimatum to hand over the heretics or leave, but they refused. When asked how to tell Catholics from Cathars, the Crusader abbot supposedly replied, "Kill them all, God will know His own." The next day, 22 July 1209, the crusaders massacred almost 20,000 people, sparing no one, irrespective of rank, sex or age, not even the Catholic priests. The whole city was burned. The burning cathedral of Saint Nazaire collapsed on those who had taken refuge inside.
