Pierre de Castelnau
Pierre de Castelnau was a French ecclesiastic who was made papal legate in 1199 to address the Cathar heresy before being murdered in 1208. Following his death, Pope Innocent III beatified him by papal order, excommunicated Count Raymond VI of Toulouse, and declared the Albigensian Crusade.
"May God forgive thee, for I forgive thee!"
"The murder of the legate Pierre de Castelnau sent a thrill of horror throughout Christendom like that caused by the assassination of Becket thirty-eight years before. Of its details, however, the accounts are so contradictory that it is impossible to speak of it with precision."
