These Albigenses, against the Pope of Rome, had set up to them selves a Bishop of their own, named Bartholomaeus, remaining about the coasts of Croatia, and Dalmatia, as appeareth by a letter of one of the Popes Cardinals, above specified, pag, 261. For the which cause the Sea of Rome took great indignation against the said Albigenses,1 and caused all their faithful Catholics and obedientiaries to their Church to rise up in armour, and to take the sign of the holy cross upon them, to fight against them. An. 1206 by reason whereof great multitudes of them were pitifully murdered, not only of them about Toulouse, & Avignon in France (as is afore to be seen, pag. 273.) but also in all quarters, miserable slaughters and burnings of them long continued, from the reign of Frederick 2. Emperor, almost to this present time, through the instigation of the Roman Popes.
