The King of France was the well known Phihp IT. , called Augustus ; and the territories principally per- vaded by the doctrines of the Albigenses were in the possession of various princely nobles, nominally vassals of the crown of France, but almost independent of that crown, the principal of whom was Raymond VI. , Count of Tou- louse, nearly related to the King of France, who undoubtedly coveted his territories, or at least desired a more complete and perfect do- mination therein. The Viscount... of Beziers and the Count of Foix also deserve notice, both from the extent of their possessions, and the part they acted in the war which followed. The Count of Toulouse had married, in the first in- stance, Beatrice, sister of the Viscount of Be- ziers ;* secondly, a daughter of the King of Cyprus ; thirdly, Joan, queen of Sicily, sister * He is said to have been previously married to Er- mesinda de Pelet, but of this fact I am not quite sure, nor do I find any record of this lady's fate. 116 DARK SCENES OF HISTORY.
