P. J. Twisck gives the following account for the
year 1284: “The Waldois or Waldenses, of whom,
since the year 1159, much mention is made, increased
at this time more and more, in France and
other countries of Christendom, notwithstanding
that they were craftily sought and cruelly persecuted,
and that all diligence and every means had
first been employed, utterly to exterminate them;
which greatly astonished certain bishops and advocates
of Avignon of that time.” “They were burnt,”
he writes, “in great numbers.” Chron., fol. 611,
612, from Henr. Boxhorn, fol. 26.
