The Albigensian Crusade
Peace of Paris - 12 April 1229
Raymond is reconciled. Swears loyalty to the king (Louis IX, 12 years old); to obey the Church; to dismiss his mercenaries; to do five years of fighting for the Church as penance; to grant amnesty to his enemies. He received most of the pre-Crusade comtal lands, except Toulouse itself and lands west of the Rhône and south of the Tarn. He lost Provence but regained it later. Was required to destroy 30 fortified points and to reduce Foix. Paid a huge indemnity of 20,000 marks.
This treaty brings Toulouse and much of the south under the crown for the very first time, a notable expansion of French royal control.
