Document Summary
The founder of this order was dominic de guzman. In later generations, the order of preachers would thus be dubbed the dominicans. In the role played by dominicans in ending the cathars was not so crucial. By 1229, toulouse had succumbed to the dominance of capetian france. Papal involvement in toulouse had not aimed to strengthen the capetian hold on the region. The albigensian crusade did allow france to gain power regardless. The dominicans meanwhile, went into cities and eventually universities. They lived by begging and consorted among the urban populace. This was after a term for those who seek alms. The title would conceal the power the dominicans were slowly amassing: the order of francis. In the 13th century in northern italy, another mendicant order would emerge to rival the. Instead of being forged in the fires of toulouse, this other order rose out of the moral morass of mercantile communes.
