Napoleon Peyrat
Napoleon Peyrat was a Pasteur reformed Churches, a historian of the Catharisme and Reform and a Poète. He was born with Border-on-Arize, a small village of the Ariège, the January 20th 1809 and died the April 4th 1881 with Saint-Germain-in-Bush hammer in the Yvelines.
He was the son of Jean-Eusèbe Peyrat and Marguerite Gardel.
One owes him in particular a Histoire of the Albigensians in five volumes, republished at Lacour-Ollé, a biography of Béranger and Lammenais like three collections of poetries, and still a Histoire of the pastors of the Desert since the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes until the French revolution, 1685 - 1789 .
Although showing, in connection with the catharism, an astonishing theological intuition for its time, Peyrat, by its lyric imagination, is largely at the origin of the modern mystification of Montségur and of the cathares. For example, he wrongly saw in Esclarmonde de Foix a deaconess cathare, founder and protective of the citadel of Montségur where she would always rest in a vast crypt dug within the pog.
