Bishop Bernard de Castanet was a prominent figure in the 13th century, best known for his role in the construction of the Cathedral of St. Cecilia in Albi, France. His tenure as bishop was marked by his ambitious efforts to finance the cathedral, which served as both a fortress against heresy and a symbol of episcopal authority. Through the sale of spiritual indulgences to his parishioners, he helped gather the immense resources necessary for this monumental project that took 200 years to complete.
