During the Middle Ages, heretics were individuals who held beliefs or practices that were deemed to be contrary to the teachings of the Christian Church. They often challenged the authority of the Church and its doctrines, leading to accusations of heresy. The punishments for heresy varied, but they could include excommunication, imprisonment, fines, or even execution. The Inquisition was often responsible for identifying and punishing heretics during this time.
The heretics were those who were unfaithful to religion after the catastrophe in the late middle ages, where 3 popes were elected all at once. The religious people wanted to eliminate these heretics, which was one of the fundamental reasons for the reformation.
The church would give a suspected heretic a trial. If the person was found guilty of herecy, they were often put to death by being burned at the stake.
They were called crusades. There were a number of crusades to the Holy Land, but there were others, such as the Northern Crusades against pagans of the Baltic region, and the Albigensian Crusade against French heretics.
The third period of the Middle Ages was the Late Middle Ages. The first is called the Early Middle Ages or the Dark Age. The second period was the High Middle Ages.
