ontmiral was founded in 1222, by the young Count Raymond VII of Toulouse, during a lull in the fast failing fortunes of his still very powerful family, to create an impediment to hostile troops coming down the valley of the river Vere from Aquitaine.
The origin of his troubles was an alarming increase in influence of a religious sect known as the Cathars and the attempts by the Roman Catholic Church to eradicate its adherents.
