Albigensian heresy? The Cathars? (I just finished listening to a lecture series called "The Era of the Crusades"; aside from what I picked up listening to this on my commute I know very little about this time period, but it's fascinating stuff.) Toward the end of the series the lecturer mentions a few things about Frederick II, who sounds like quite a character. Do you have any reading recommendations for non-scholars?
