Lanfranc was both a critic of the crusading policies of the Papacy and a supporter of the Albigensian Crusade [REF].
In another poem, Quan vei far bon fag plazentier, written early in 1248, Lanfranc bemoaned the coming fall of Christianity with a metaphorical Sepulchre, which the Saracens, he said, had already destroyed.
