Two representatives of the Inquisition, William Arnald and Stephen de Saint-Thibéry, as well as their companions and retinue, are murdered by about fifty men from Montségur and dispossessed local lords at Avignonet on May 28, 1242, in the context of Occitan resistance and possibly linked to Raymond’s efforts to free himself from the chains of the Paris Treaty.

This event leads to the decision to send a royal military expedition to eliminate the stronghold.
