pushed forward <strong>the</strong> birth of my book.<br />

The Countess Pujol-Murat, whose ancestors gave <strong>the</strong>ir life in <strong>the</strong> defense of<br />

Montsegur for <strong>the</strong>ir homel<strong>and</strong> invaded by <strong>the</strong> enemy, <strong>and</strong> who counts among <strong>the</strong>m<br />

Hugo De Payens, founder of <strong>the</strong> Order of <strong>the</strong> Templars, <strong>and</strong>, worthy of special<br />

mention, <strong>the</strong> great Esclarmonde de Foix, familiarized me with <strong>the</strong> heroic past of<br />

Montsegur. I would not conclude my list of my Occitan friends without<br />

me with great gusto.<br />
