Linda,
I don't understand everything (it's old french).
I translate in modern french first the red text :
"Le premier chapitre du tiers livre des faits du Roy Philippe Dieudonné parle comme l'hérésie des amoniens fut ? ? par bonne justice."
I translate in english :
"The first chapter of the third book of the facts of the King Philip Dieudonne explains as the heresy of the amonians was ? ? by good justice."
I don't explain all the black text but we can read the last word of the fourth line "en Egipte" = "in Egypt"
Egypt, amonians (the worshipers of the cult of the God Amon) and french King Philip the second refer, for me, to the fifth crusade.
The towers look like minarets and people on the left are dressed like muslims of Egypt during the 13th century.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see anything about cathars on this painting.
