First sentence: Almost the only proposition about medieval popular heresy which always commanded general assent (despite Jeffrey Russell's gallant attempt to subvert it) is that it began in the eleventh century - which is not to say that nothing before that time could be so described, but that this is when we can begin to trace history which was more or less continuous, though extremely various, for the rest of the Middle Ages.
