The entire disappearance of a sect once so numerous and powerful as the Cathari has appeared so unlikely that there has been a widespread belief that their descendants were to be found in the Cagots--the accursed race of the Pyrenees who in French Navarre were only admitted to common legal rights in 1709, and in the Spanish province in 1818, some of them still existing in the latter. The Cagots themselves even a.s.sumed this to be their origin in an appeal to Leo X., in 1517, to be restored to human society, and claimed that their ancestral errors had been long atoned for. Yet among all the conjectures as to the origin of this mysterious cla.s.s, the descent from Catharans would seem to be the least admissible, and M. de Lagreze's opinion that they are descendants of lepers is sustained by arguments which appear to be convincing.--Lagreze, La Navarre Francaise I. 53-60. Cf. Vaissette, Liv. x.x.xIV. c. 79.

The extent of the change of the proprietorship is well ill.u.s.trated by a list of the lands and rents confiscated for heresy to the profit of Philippe de Montfort from his va.s.sals. It embraces fiefs and other properties in Lautrec, Montredon, Senegats, Rabastain, and Lavaur. The knights and gentlemen and peasants thus stripped are all named, with their offences--one died a heretic, another was hereticated on his death-bed, a third was condemned for heresy, and a fourth was burned at Lavaur, while in other cases the mother, or the father, or both were heretics (Doat, x.x.xII. 258-63).

Many examples of donations and sales are preserved in the Doat collection. I may instance T. x.x.xI. fol. 171, 237, 255; T. x.x.xII. fol.

46, 53, 55, 57, 64, 67, 69, 244, etc.

In the possessions of the English crown in Aquitaine the same process was going on, though in a minor degree (Rymer, Fdera, III. 408).
