HISTORY...
|
|
Provence and Languedoc are regions of France with a rich history, where religious wars between Catholics and
Protestants (the Camisars), and against Cathars, were fought without mercy.
The Southern area of France, in constant contact with the Arabian universities and civilizations around the
Mediterranean, was for a long time more developed and educated than the Northern part of France where the King was
staying.
As a result, political fights for control of the area between the King of France in the North, and the powerful
"Seigneurs" in the South, like the Comte de Toulouse, ended only when France became a united country after the
victory of the King of France.
