Background: Catharism was the name given to the Christian religious sect that appeared in the Languedoc region of Southern France and flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries. This album explores the 'classical' period of the troubadour school around the turn of the 13th century, but also provides us with a comprehensive historical and artistic background of this Golden Age.

It is time we remembered this 'forgotten' kingdom from which so much Western culture evolved.
