| Road sign in the village of Minerve in the Languedoc, France. The "Templars' gate" is on the rue des Martyrs. Minerve was a refuge for Cathars under its lord, Gilhem de Minerba. It was the site of a siege by the crusader Simon de Montfort in 1210. When it fell Simon was prepared to let everyone go free, but the Abbot Arnaud Amaury engineered the burning alive of 140-180 Cathar Perfects - the "martyrs" after whom the road is named. |
