5 or 6 houses: ms. 609 = 5: 89r. ms. 609 = 5: 238r (and the year 1220, on the basis of this testimony) supplied by DZ. Female house: 5: 90r.

Bellum Podium #Belpug

5: 22r has time information 1225; this can relate to what is reported more to the end of the narrative (mother being a heretic, than converting, than relapsing), but probably it is linked to what is a heretical house, so I put this date in the years list.

The house in ms. 609 = 5: 22r possibly involves a non-heretic, daughter of the owner who is a heretic.

5: 238r: "Et sunt XXV anni vel circa (...) Item vidit h. stare publice apud Baucium, et fuit eodem tempore. Item apud Vitrac vidit h. publice eodem tempore et apud Contrast et Boissezo et Cabaretum et apud Vintro et in Caramanhes et in aliis locis."

Novitiate is from ms. 609 = 5: 189v (deposition of a woman who was a novice).

Commune Tarabel, Haute-Garonne. Not found in Cassini, geocoded to Tarabel - precision ca. 3 km. Fr. Wikipedia has an entry redirecting to Tarabel.

1194, 1200, 1201, 1216, 1223, 1225, 1228, 1230, 1230, 1230, 1230

Some dates slightly problematic - "dans les années 1220" omitted because somehow included in the other dates; "à la fin des années 1220" rendered tentatively as 1228.

1205 is from ms. 609 = 5: 243r. 1225 is also from ms. 609 = 5: 243r, which only gives "tempore predicti", i.e. taken from previous deposition (i.e. dating of the type "see above", potentially prone to error).

1175, 1193, 1204, 1205, 1214, 1215, 1215, 1216, 1216, 1216, 1225, 1226, 1240

Duvernoy gives 1175 as the earliest date; this is based on ms. 609 = 5: 159r (i.e. a reference which is lacking in his list; cited under Passages, "LXX" years verified in the ms.). Pegg, Corruption, 117, accepts this early date (he only gives 1176), and says that the deponent, Bernard Gasc, "contrasted this memory, easily the oldest heard at Saint-Sernin, of one house occupied by one friendly good man with the recollection that his village, thirty years later in 1206, possessed a number of what he specified as domus hereticorum"; this is too dramatic, no explicit contrast is being made, and even more importantly, there is "in domo ipsorum" (verified in the ms.), so not one good man. 1193 is from FFF = 23: 162v. 1204 is from FFF = 24: 40r-42r. 1240 is from ms. 609 = 5: 154v; the place is not completely explicit but all mentions of this heretical uncle in the deposition concern Fanjeaux and the witness is also from Fanjeaux so it can be inferred quite safely that it is Fanjeaux.

5: 159r: "Bernardus Gasc t.i. d. qd stetit cum matre sua Marquesia iuxta domum Willelmi de Carlipac heretici bene per annum, et comedit pluries in domo ipsorum (...) Et sunt LXX anni vel circa" #23: 163r: "Dicta Guillelma (...) cum pluribus aliis hereticabus tenebat publice domum suam apud Fanumiovis (...) sunt quinquaginta anni" #5: 159v: "et i.t. operabatur in operatoriis quorundam hereticorum et suebat cum eis et lucrabatur quandoque hoc quod poterat i.t. et plures alii iuvenes de villa similiter cum d.h." #5: 162r: "et ibat quandoque ad domos earum cum quibusdam dominabus de castro"

Evidence for workshops (both of them shoemakers') and apprenticeship: ms. 609 = 5: 157r; ms. 609 = 5: 159v. Weaving: inferred from ms. 609 = 5: 169r: "emit a Petro Colom heretico pannos".

1195 is from ms. 609 = 5: 118v: "stantes publice apud Becetam, et sunt L anni".

Precious info ms. 609 = 5: 118v - noviciate (explicit communal religious function). Female house: ms. 609 = 5: 229v. Brunissen and Nomais living in Brunissen husband's house: 5: 232v.

5: 118v #5:120r #5: 118v #5: 119r #5: 120r #5: 126r #5: 229v #5: 232r #5: 232v

5: 118v #5:120r

One fuzzy date not used: ms. 609 = 5: 61r: "ante pacem". Both Sparks and Pegg interpret this expression in ms. 609 as the peace of Paris, i.e. 1229.

5: 115v: "vidit predictas hereticas stare publice apud Las Bordas in domibus propriis ipsarum hereticarum"

Roche's "before the crusade" translated tentatively as 1205; rather 1205 than 1200 because 1200 dates are rare, 1205 are more frequent.

1185 is from 5: 20r (checked in the ms.; it is XL exponctuated and substituted with LX by the same hand, still on the line, so the scribe corrected himself, which even adds to the credibility: he first wrote XL which is more frequent, while LX is a lot less usual as memory time span in ms. 609, but then he corrected it; confirmed later by the same deponent: she mentions house at Montmaur also LX years ago). 1195 is from 5: 22v. 1199 is from 5: 20v. 5: 3v: "sunt XXXV anni et amplius"; ms. 609 = 5: 11r: "sunt XL anni et amplius". Evidence for both male and female house 35 years ago (ca. 1210): ms. 609 = 5: 18r. Ca. 1225 in 5: 3v and 5: 19r.

23: 86v #5: 3v #5: 3v #5: 4r #5: 4v #5: 11r #5: 11v #5: 12v #5: 18r #5: 19r #5: 20r #5: 20v #5: 22v #5: 24v #5: 26v #5: 28r #5: 29v #5: 42r #5: 143r

Attention to differentiate Miraval = Mireval-Lauragais (relevant for ms. 609) and Miraval-Cabardès. The index of place names in Roche, Une Église cathare (and also his map) explicitly refers to Miraval-Cabardès, not Mireval-Lauragais, concerning references in Doat 23.

Roche ECC 201, n. 29, refers to 23: 171r-171v (as dép. of Alice de Mazerolles), which is correct as deposition but the precise reference is probably mistaken; correctly, it is 23: 163r. Furthermore, for 1200, he refers to 23: 106 sqq., but in fact this is a person from Miraval speaking about being a heretic in the houses of Cabaret and Azille; the correct reference is 23: 108v-109r. He has 1200, I put mechanically 1199 (44 years ago in 1243).

1241 is e.g. from ms. 609 = 5: 174v. I add 1244 on the basis of inference to mark the boundary of the dataset - of course the houses were still there until Montségur fell, even if I did not yet found any explicit dated reference to 1244.

23: 96v #24: 20r #5: 118v

"All the land of Saint-Félix".

Ms. 609 (the source, not just the index) says it is in the Lauragais, which leaves only one candidate: Saint-Germier, Haute-Garonne (and rules out even the Saint-Germier absorbed by Teyssode in the 19th c.).

1210 and 1231 is from ms. 609 = 5: 175r (two different depositions).

5: 30r: "vidit stare hereticos publice in castro Sancti Martini de Lalanda in decem domibus"

Mixed household (2 brothers and sister): ms. 609 = 5: 227r. Interesting information on a house whose inhabitants, around 1216, claimed they had been reconciliated (but continued living in a community): ms. 609 = 5: 228r.

1196, 1220, 1222, 1225, 1225, 1226, 1226, 1227, 1238

1196 is from ms. 609 = 5: 252r by Pons Iaule who was a heretic then for 3 years.

I am not finding Saissac in 23: 85r (verified that Roche refers to it for year 1223 - might be an error because there is Laure for 1223, same deposition, just below this; I delete the reference and also year 1223.

24: 193v #24: 281v

5: 124v: "tempore guerre" - date used experimentally as 1219 in the list, waiting for a more complex time model.

Workshop inferred from: Pons Roger went to Toulouse to learn the craft of furrier (artem pellicerie) and there he became a heretic - implicit link. Pegg cites 5: 124v as evidence in his passages on the houses of heretics.

5: 232r: on the witness' mother moving to another house when becoming heretica. Implicitly, the house is in the same village (cf. Pegg, Corruption, 119 and n. 27). Probably also a male house could be inferred: "vidit h. stantes apud Becedam et apud Valdrulha".

Map in Duvernoy, L'histoire, 233, has Vauré at ca. 2/5 way from Les Cassès to Hautpoul (cross-checked by the fact that the source suggests that it is in the reach of people from Roquefort). Plus, one resource describes: "Bâtie sur une colline, vers le couchant de la plaine de Vauré, la ville de ce nom avait au levant et au midi une forêt immense qui tenait à toutes celles de la Montagne Noire", suggests it is near Revel, and even has a map of the region, even if Vauré is not on it (http://www.lauragais-patrimoine.fr/HISTOIRE/LA_FORET_DE_VAURE/VAURE.html). Thanks to those resources, I found it on the Cassini map.

24: 20v: "apud Bauro ... comedit multotiens in domo ipsarum hereticarum".

"Baucium"; Duvernoy's index of places has Le Vaux.

5: 238r: "Et sunt XXV anni vel circa (...) Item vidit h. stare publice apud Baucium, et fuit eodem tempore. Item apud Vitrac vidit h. publice eodem tempore et apud Contrast et Boissezo et Cabaretum et apud Vintro et in Caramanhes et in aliis locis."

Villanova #Villanova Comitalis

Roche's "avant 1210" translated a bit problematically as 1205. Roche ECC 200 n. 13 has 1209 from a different deposition: ms. 609 = 5: 180r.
