摘要：After being elected as primal abbot of the powerful Cistercien Order, the Catalan Arnold Amalric (1225) led as papal legate the pacific and then violent Church fight against the Occitan catharism. His leadership marked not only the early destinies of the Albigensian Crusade (1208-1214) and it had some influence on the Crusade of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212), to which he was joined after being elected archbishop of Narbonne. As while both enterprises the venerable Arnold showed the best of his qualities of action man, in the first one he incarnated the worst of violence and fanatism that defined the holy war against the Occitans lords accused of heresy.

Exceptional personality, the Cistercian Arnold Amalric is, of course, one of the protagonists of Medieval West in the early XIIIth Century
