Walking the Path of Medieval Inquisition: Depositions, Deponents and Data from 13th-Century Toulouse
Walking the Path of Medieval Inquisition: Depositions, Deponents and Data from 13th-Century Toulouse - A Laidlaw Research Poster detailing the outcomes of my research into inquisitorial depositions of local people about their involvement in 'heresy', in 13th-Century Toulouse.
Student, University of St Andrews
I'm an Ancient History and Archaeology graduate from St Andrews University, and Oxford University. My laidlaw research was in Medieval Heresy and Inquisition, combining practical GIS and mapping skills commonly used in archaeology, textual analysis, and data analysis, to experiment with alternative ways of presenting historical research. However, my current interests lie in studying craft networks and technological exchange in the Ancient Aegean, as well as the influence of marginalised people in the historical record on them.

I love this! I am more familiar with 13th century England than France, but could this treatment have been due to links with Lords/ other nobility? Commonly those imprisoned in England around the same period were outsiders unknown to the locals and the lord, do we think that is the same case here?
(Also, putting the map in the summary box was a stroke of genius!)
