  PAMIERS - LoveToKnow Article on PAMIERS
Pamiers is the seat of a bishopric dating from the end of the I3th century.
Pamiers was originally a castle built in the beginning of the 12th century by Roger II., count of Foix, on lands belonging to the abbey of St Antonin de Frdelas.
Pamiers was sacked by Jean de Foix In 1486, again during the religious wars, when the abbey of St Antonin was destroyed, and finally, in 1628, by Henry II.

 Bernard Saisset - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Further, Saisset was sent in 1301 as papal legate to Philip IV to protest the king's anticlerical measures.
But on his return to Pamiers he was denounced to the king as having tried to raise a rebellion of Occitan independence, associated with Navarre, under the banner of the Count of Foix (with whom Saisset had until very recently been embroiled in the courts).
Boniface VIII, detaching the city of Pamiers from the diocese of Toulouse in 1295, made it the seat of a new bishopric and raised the faithful Saisset to the new see.

Boniface VIII., detaching the city of Pamiers from the diocese of Toulouse in 1295, made it the seat of a new bishopric and appointed Saisset to the see.
Of a headstrong temperament, Saisset as abbot energetically sustained the struggle with the counts of Foix, begun two centuries before, for the lordship of the city of Pamiers, which had been shared between the counts and abbots by the feudal contract of pariage.
There is no proof for the legend that Bernard Saisset earned Philip IV.s hatred in 1300-1301 by boldly sustaining the popes demand for the liberation of the count of Flanders, and by publicly proclaiming the doctrine of papal supremacy.

 Montaillou: Clerical Sin Sex and Heresy in the Fourteenth Century, Robert Wernick   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
He became Bishop of Pamiers, a diocese in which Montaillou formed an outlying parish, and went on to become Pope under the name of Benedict XII.
Heresy was in those days the crime of crimes, much as treason is today, and Pamiers had a bad reputation in that respect.
This was a dangerous and a daring thing to do, for the Inquisition, which had been created by St. Dominic for the express purpose of stamping out the abominations of the Cathars, was always in the background with its dungeons and racks and pits and pendulums and heaps of fagots.

 Froissart: How the Count of Foix forced the pass called la Garde
They made an attack on it, and sent word to Pamiers, that if they did not pay a composition for their corn and wines, they would burn and destroy all.
Those of Pamiers were afraid of waiting the event, as their lord was at too great a distance, being then in Béarn, so that they thought it more prudent to pay the ransom, which was settled at five thousand francs; but they demanded a delay of fifteen days, which was granted to them.
The count de Foix, however, did not hold them quit, but claimed the ransom, as he said he had deserved it; for he had come to their assistance, and to drive his enemies out of the country.

This Barthelemy knew that Beatrice was a heretic and erred concerning the Christian faith, and did not denounce her to the inquisitors of heresy; because of this he is strongly suspected of heresy himself, and furthermore strongly suspected of witchcraft and casting spells.
I then asked "And you believed the advice of this priest?" She said no. I told her that if she was in the bishopric of Pamiers, or in a place where there was an inquisitor, I could have her arrested and that she knew much more concerning heresy than what she said.
Messire Pierre, rector of Rieux de Pelleport, told her that my lord bishop of Pamiers was a terrible man and that he had found no sympathy from him when he had begged mercy for his mother.

 Heretics: An Evaluation of Cathar Faith and Practice
In a study of the church, the Christian faith and the beliefs of those considered heretical in fourteenth century France, there are a few resources one can use.
One very intriguing manuscript of this period is the inquisition record kept by the Bishop of Pamiers, Jacques Fournier in the year 1320.
The complete and thorough examination of a faith of course can not be totally derived from a single document with absolute certainty, but this manuscript does give us a very comprehensive picture of what beliefs formed the basic heretical faith of the Manichean Cathar.
