Grazide Lizier

1321) was a peasant in the Comté de Foix in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth century.

[1][2] Her home region was known for being Cathar, and, during an anti-Cathar inquisition carried out by Catholic authorities, she was interrogated.

[3][4] A number of facts about her are recorded in the Fournier Register, and her life, along with those of her fellow villagers, was analyzed in Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie's Montaillou.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen she became mistress to Pierre Clergue, the local priest, who, though Grazide insisted she hadn't known at the time, was allegedly her mother's illegitimate cousin.

[5] A year later, at Clergue's behest, Grazide married an elderly local, Pierre Lizier of Montaillou.
