Years: 1205 - 1205

Folquet de Marselha, initially famed as a troubadour, is elected Bishop of Toulouse in 1205, after two Cistercian Papal legates had been sent to the region to reform it.

Pope Innocent III is particularly concerned by the prevalence of both heresy and episcopal corruption in the Languedoc and uses the Cistercians to combat both.

The legates had deposed the previous Bishop, Raimon de Rabastens, and were probably instrumental in arranging Folquet's nomination for the position.
