Bertrand de Rennes

He’d rather finally settle, take care of his manor and start a family. Well, that’s probably not going to happen but he’s getting fed up being a soldier. He was there at the siege of Montsegur and he was one of those who decided that the Templars would not be involved. It seems to Bertrand that this inquisition rampage is silly and only wreaks havoc. Christians should protect their own land from infidels in the first place, rather than abusing the Crusade idea to seek profit within the christian world itself. Dominicans are group of dumb barefoot agitators in his eyes. This is definitely not what religious orders should look like.

Blessed are those who fear the Lord,

    who find great delight in his commands.

Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,

    for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.

Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;

    in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.

Eleanor is the pragmatic head of the family, interested in religion only as far as politics demand. She tolerates the Dominicans in her manor but isn’t particularly keen about that. On the other hand, she finds the Templars’ visit pleasurable. They are the men to her taste. She especially likes the older one. If only he wasn’t under his religious vows. Jacques and Roger are both well mannered and Eleanor is willing to do all sorts of things to keep the manor in their hands.

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill.

He’s doesn’t hesitate arguing about religion or politics in public even in these days. He’s putting himself, and those close to him, in danger. But he’s always managed to wriggle out of it. This is particularly getting on Eleanors’ nerves because she has to be twice as cautious in front of the Dominicans. As if it wasn’t already hard enough. Though she might agree with Jacques in many things, she cannot admit that publicly.

There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. Ecclesiastes 2,24
