Now, after twelve months of savage, bloody warfare in the scorching sun, he is finally coming home to his castle, to peace, and to his beloved wife. But France offers neither comfort nor peace. His wife has died in childbirth, his young son is dying of a wasting disease and in the south his Cathar countrymen are being brutally persecuted.
