The Councils of Narbonne were a series of provincial councils of the Catholic Church held in Narbonne, France. Council of 255 – 260 A council was supposedly held in Narbonne between 255 and 260. According to the legend, Paul of Narbonne was accused of sexual immorality and a council was held to adjudicate the charges, at which he was miraculously exonerated. Council of 589 A council was held in Narbonne on 1 November 589. Migetius, the archbishop of Toledo, presided. Eight bishops attended. The council ratified the acts of the Third Council of Toledo, which the local bishops had been unable to attend due to illness. The council also published fifteen canons, including restrictions on the behavior of the clergy, a ban on Jews singing psalms when burying their dead, and condemnation of divination. A major concern of the council was limiting the influence of lay patrons over clerics. Council of 791 Twenty-six bishops attended, and two others sent representatives. The coun ...

Plenary Council
In the Roman Catholic Church, a plenary council is any of various kinds of ecclesiastical synods, used when those summoned represent the whole number of bishops of some given territory. The word itself, derived from the Latin ''plenarium'' (complete or full), hence ''concilium plenarium'', also ''concilium plenum''. Plenary councils have a legislative function that does not apply to other national synods. The ecumenical councils or synods are called plenary councils by Augustine of Hippo, as they form a complete representation of the entire Church. Thus also, in ecclesiastical documents, provincial councils are denominated plenary, because all the bishops of a certain ecclesiastical province were represented. Later usage has restricted the term ''plenary'' to those councils which are presided over by a delegate of the Apostolic See, who has received special power for that purpose, and which are attended by all the metropolitans and bishops of some commonwealth, empire, or kingdom, o ...

Crusades
The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and sometimes directed by the Latin Church in the medieval period. The best known of these Crusades are those to the Holy Land in the period between 1095 and 1291 that were intended to recover Jerusalem and its surrounding area from Islamic rule. Beginning with the First Crusade, which resulted in the recovery of Jerusalem in 1099, dozens of Crusades were fought, providing a focal point of European history for centuries. In 1095, Pope Urban II proclaimed the First Crusade at the Council of Clermont. He encouraged military support for Byzantine emperor AlexiosI against the Seljuk Turks and called for an armed pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Across all social strata in western Europe, there was an enthusiastic response. The first Crusaders had a variety of motivations, including religious salvation, satisfying feudal obligations, opportunities for renown, and economic or political advantage. Later crusades were ...

Inquisition
The Inquisition was a group of institutions within the Catholic Church whose aim was to combat heresy, conducting trials of suspected heretics. Studies of the records have found that the overwhelming majority of sentences consisted of penances, but convictions of unrepentant heresy were handed over to the secular courts, which generally resulted in execution or life imprisonment. The Inquisition had its start in the 12th-century Kingdom of France, with the aim of combating religious deviation (e.g. apostasy or heresy), particularly among the Cathars and the Waldensians. The inquisitorial courts from this time until the mid-15th century are together known as the Medieval Inquisition. Other groups investigated during the Medieval Inquisition, which primarily took place in France and Italy, include the Spiritual Franciscans, the Hussites, and the Beguines. Beginning in the 1250s, inquisitors were generally chosen from members of the Dominican Order, replacing the earlier pract ...

Archbishop Of Aix
The Archdiocese of Aix-en-Provence and Arles (Latin: ''Archidioecesis Aquensis in Gallia et Arelatensis''; French: ''Archidiocèse d'Aix-en-Provence et Arles''; Occitan Provençal: ''Archidiocèsi de Ais de Provença e Arle'' or ''Archidioucèsi de z'Ais e Arle'') is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or archdiocese of the Catholic Church in France. The archepiscopal see is located in the city of Aix-en-Provence. The diocese comprises the department of Bouches-du-Rhône (minus the arrondissement of Marseilles), in the Region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. It is currently a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Marseilles and consequently the archbishop no longer wears the pallium. After the Concordat, the archdiocese gained the titles of Arles and Embrun (1822), becoming the Archdiocese of Aix (–Arles–Embrun) (Latin: ''Archidioecesis'' ''Aquensis in Gallia (–Arelatensis–Ebrodunensis)''; French: ''Archidiocèse d'Aix (–Arles–Embrun)''; Occitan Provençal: ''Archidi ...

He was the son and successor of the count Raymond-Roger and his wife Philippa of Montcada.

That same year, he distinguished himself at the siege of Toulouse. In 1220, he assisted his father in the recapture of Lavaur and Puylaurens and was instrumental in helping his father retake his lost dominions.

On 14 September 1224, the Albigensian Crusaders surrendered and the war came to an end, each southern lord making peace with the church.
