The waldensians: peter walsdo, beliefs of the waldensians, apostolic poverty, all people should be allowed to read the bible, preaching should be confined only to the clergy, rejection of the institutional church and the sacraments. Innocent iii and the albigensian crusade, 1209 kill all, kill all, god will know his own: pray the heresy away, calls for military action, count of toulouse, philippe ii. Count of toulouse excommunicated, 1207: no longer has any justification to rule, crusade preached, 1209, the siege of beziers. The results of the albigensian crusade: expansion of royal authority, the languedoc becomes a part of the french kingdom, establishment of the inquisition.
