Troubadour
“CHAPTER SIX Honeysuckle Innocent III celebrated Easter in Rome with the usual magnificence and pomp. By the end of Easter Sunday, he was tired and elated in equal measure. When he had disrobed and taken a light meal, he sat down to ponder the news that his messenger who had been sent to the Midi had brought him. The Pope had been thoughtful when he heard his information. What did the troubadour’s lack of enthusiasm for women mean? The ferryman had been sure he was not abnormal in his desires an...d perhaps he was just a clean-living man? As Pope and a celibate Christian himself, he could hardly condemn Bertran for that. But just possibly the troubadour was a heretic, who either was a Perfect already or was planning to become one before he died. That would account for his abstinence from female company.
