CHAP. VIII.
Theodosius succeedeth the Legat Milon: proceedeth a∣gainst the Earle Remond, excommunicateth him, and frames very violent articles against him: The Earle Remond retireth himselfe from St. Giles and Arles with the king of Aragon, lest they should be apprehen∣ded by the Legat: Simon besiegeth Montferrand: Baudoin reuolteth: The king of Aragon allieth him∣selfe with the Earle Simon.
IN the yeere of our Lord 1211. [ 1211] The∣dize gaue the Earle Remond to vnder∣stand, that he should haue what was iust and right touching his affaires, and with faire words perswaded him to come to St. Giles. Being there he ript vp the businesse touching the murder of the Monke Frier Peter de Chasteauneuf from the be∣ginning, without consideration of any precedent iustifi∣cation, and excommunicated the said Earle Remond, not as being guilty of the death of the said Monke, but because he had not driuen the Albingenses out of his countrey as he was bound by promise. The Earle Remond hauing felt the blast of the said excommu∣nication, retired himselfe to Toulouze, not speaking a word, before the Legat had meanes to publish the sentence.
