The yellow cross is a well researched and gripping history of the extinguishing of the last Cathar heretics by the Catholic church.   Our local town of Pamiers plays a large part in this story as it was the seat of Bishop Jaques Fournier (the future Pope Benedict XII). 
The yellow cross: the story of the last Cathars 1290-1392, by Rene Weiss.  London, Penguin Books, 2001.
