The Albigensian Crusade
Phase Six: The Crusade Grinds Down
Louis VIII takes command of the new crusade. Avignon fell in September 1226 after a three-month siege. This led to Provence declaring for the king. Eastern Languedoc and Quercy and others follow suit.
This left Toulouse. The king proceeded methodically. Louis died 8 November 1226. The Midi is tired of war. The Crusade is now conducted systematically by Humbert of Beaujeu.
