| Summary | "The Inquisition: A Political and Military Study of its Establishment" by Hoffman Nickerson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the political and military dimensions surrounding the establishment of the Inquisition, providing insights not only into the Inquisition itself but also into the historical context of medieval society, particularly focusing on the Albigensian Crusade in the region of Languedoc. At the start of the text, the author outlines the socio-political landscape of medieval Europe that paved the way for the Inquisition. He contrasts the vibrant recovery of civilization in the twelfth century with the preceding "Dark Ages" and emphasizes the church's role as a unifying institution amidst a backdrop of evolving moral and civic values. This opening sets the stage for examining the turbulent interactions between the church, state, and emerging heretical ideas that would culminate in a series of military conflicts and the institution of the Inquisition in southern France.
