Question

Which of the following did the Albigensian Crusade signify?

Answer 1

Best answer is C) The rise of secular monarchs

The Albigensian Crusade, called for by the Pope against the religious group the Cathars in southern France, led to the consolidation of power by the French monarchy. It also established a dependence of the Pope on the monarchy for military support, ushering in a new paradigm in which secular monarchs held increasing influence over the Church and the general political landscape. 

Answer 2

I believe the answer is B. The heightened power of the papacy 
 Albigensian Crusade refers to a millitary campaign that ordered by pope innocent III in Southern France.
The facts that a religious leader had the authority to move an army indicates that he had a power with the same magnitude as a king.
