BEFORE 1100 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SUPRESSED HERESY WITH IMPRISONMENT THAT SELDOM LED TO EXCECUTIONS. THIS CHANGED IN THE 12TH CENTURY WITH CHURCH COUNCILS ESTABLISHING THE EPISCOPAL INQUISITION IN 1184. WHEN POPE INNOCENT'S PAPAL LEGATE WAS MURDERED IN 1208 IT SPARKED THE ALBIGENSIAN CRUSADE. THE INQUISITION WAS PERMENTLY ESTABLISHED AT THE COUNCIL OF TOULOUSE IN 1229. GRAND INQUISITIONS LASTED UNTIL THE 19TH CENTURY.  HISTORY ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR 500 NAMED DEATHS DUE TO THE INQUISITION, BUT ESTIMATES OF THE REAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT LOST THEIR LIVES RANGES UP TO 65 MILLION BY SOME ACCOUNTS
Important events in the year 1233:  Elburg and Gendt receive city rights; San Severo, a town full of rebels, is destroyed by Frederick II;  Amadeus IV Count of Savoy; The Inquisition is established;  Deaths: Thomas I Count of Savoy, Bohemund IV of Antioch
