So, I'm curious about the Occitan culture, as well as the importance of the Occitan regions within France before the Cathar Crusade.
Obviously, I know Raymond XVI (or whatever number he is), who was Count of Toulouse and probably the most powerful Occitan noble during the Cathar Crusade, but I don't know much about the culture, mindset, culturally important places (like the Cluny monastery for the Normans, or Paris for the French, and etc), or even the nobles involved in culling the Occitans during the Cathar Crusade.
Please educate me on the Occitans, and Toulouse and the Cathar Crusade in particular.
Also, a list of nations and groups that could be powerful allies to an independent-minded Toulose would be nice.
