About this artwork
The origin of the nickname Trencavel remains uncertain and its etymology lends itself to many interpretations. According to historians, one would be "Trenca Bel", literally who slices well or "Trencarèl", the slayer. Another could be “Trenca Avanela” which means in Occitan nutcracker. Or “Trenca Ravel”, slice ravelle.
According to the research of historians Laurent Macé and Gauthier Langlois, this last hypothesis would be the most plausible. Indeed,… the coat of arms of Raimond II Trencavel, found on an Aragonese fresco preserved in the castle of Alcañiz, seat of the Order of Calatrava, reveals a “fascist of black gules and ravelles”.
Raimond-Roger will become in spite of himself the hero and the first victim of the crusade against the Albigensians. He died in 1209, confined in the dungeons of his own city of Carcassonne, probably poisoned by the vile Simon de Montfort.
