Example text
The second phase started in 1135, when he reappeared in southern France, in the diocese of Arles, after an absence of some twenty years. Preaching heretical doctrines again, Henry was brought before the Council of Pisa; probably not long before that, he had engaged in debate with a monk named William, who left the most detailed record of Henry’s teaching. The final phase began in 1139 and lasted until Henry’s capture in 1145, when he was pursued by the great Cistercian monk Bernard. By that time he had spread his teachings in Languedoc a region that would later become one of the great centres of heresy.
Having revealed themselves and their beliefs fully to the council, Stephen and Lisois insisted that the meeting be brought to an end. ’14 Openly expressing their unorthodox teachings, Stephen and Lisois and their followers were recognised as heretics and were condemned by the King and his council. They were then clothed in the dress of their orders and deposed from their clerical offices. They were driven out of the assembly hall, care having been taken to ensure that the enraged multitude would not harm them, and Queen Constance struck out the eye of Stephen, her former confessor, with her staff, to display her displeasure and to disassociate herself from him.
The eleventh-century arrival of the Bogomils remains, however, a controversial point, which most, though by no means all, recent historians do not accept. But the issue is not whether the Bogomils helped to shape heresy in France and other parts of western Europe; it is, rather, when this happened. The importance of the Bogomils in the development of heresy in Latin Europe should not be understated even if the exact moment of their arrival may never come to be known. On the generally accepted view, the Bogomils only arrived in western Europe in the twelfth century, but the first expressions of heresy in Latin Europe took place in the years around the turn of the millennium as Ademar reveals.
