This is the first study to examine the rise and fall of a medieval
religious group, the Order of Apostles, that began with orthodox
support but ended in the fires of heresy. Originating in 1260 in
Parma the group was founded by Gerard Segarelli who believed that a
life of apostolic poverty was the true path of Christian devotion.
Segarelli was initially supported by the Church but as his cohort
grew in number and fame he was charged with heresy by the powerful
Franciscans, was tried, and burnt as a heretic. The Order's control
was assumed by Fra Dolcino who led the Apostles into direct
opposition to the Roman Church and was himself executed in 1307.
This is an important study presenting new findings in the history
of medieval heresy, as well as placing the Order of Apostles within
the larger context of political, economic and social history. By
examining the rise and fall of the Apostles Pierce shows the
dramatic consequences of the transformation of European society
during the high Middle Ages.
