I'm sorry I had to remove the long addition just made to Roland of Cremona because it is copied from a text which may still be in copyright (see the permission statement at Dominican Central: "This presentation of the out-of-print work is offered for your information with the permission of the Dominican Province of St. Joseph"). Instead, for the moment, I've put in a link to the relevant page at Dominican Central.

The text didn't in any case display NPOV. But if the contributor wanted to summarise Roland's life on the basis of this same work, and keeping in mind non-Dominican (even Cathar!) points of view, I'm sure it would be welcome. Andrew Dalby 12:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Later career

The article does not explain what has happened to Roland after he left Toulouse soon after the issue with that unfortunate exhumations (by the way, Zoé Oldenbourg, Massacre at Montségur, New York 1961, p. 277, probably after Guillaume Pelhisson's Chronicon, but she does not the exact source, states that Roland used to exhume the bodies of not one but two persons: "A. Peyre, an official benefactor of the Saint-Sernin Chapter, and Galvanus, a Waldensian minister buried in the cemetery at Villeneuve"); Walter L. Wakefield & Austin P. Evans, Heresies of the High Middle Ages, New York 1969, p. 265 briefly mention Roland heading a special mission in 1233 by the Pope Gregory IX to Piacenza, where the heretical majority of burghers rioted against the ecclesiastical authority already since 1204, but they also do not give any particular sources for their remark.
