6/30/2023 0 Comments Troubadour by Mary HoffmanBut the Pope is trying to track Bertran down and so is somebody else: Elinor, a young noblewoman, in love. The lands of the peaceable Cathars - deemed heretics - are now forfeit and under threat from crusaders who have been given authority by the Pope to take the Cathar domains by force. A troubadour, Bertran, witnesses the brutal murder of the Pope's legate, and risks his life to warn others of the war that he knows is certain to follow this act. This is a story of persecution and poetry, love and war set in thirteenth century southern France.
