Cagot
Deleted a subsection based on a claim that Cagots were descendants of Vikings in a book by Joel Supery that's been described as a 'pseudohistory' (see talk page) - devoting a whole subsection would legitimise this fringe view as though it were credible or mainstream

Cagot
Deleted two paragraphs making a spurious argument unsupported by a citation (the citation of Pierre de Marca's Histoire de Bearn is just for the quote, and doesn't support the wider claim that it confirms their Scandinavian origin)

Cagot
Added a [citation needed] to the claim that 'Cagots were excluded from all political and social rights' - there are numerous instances of French courts finding in their favour, e.g. in 1723 when the Parlement of Bordeaux acquitted the cagot Legaret after a scuffle and emphasised that cagots were allowed in all public assemblies, municipal offices and educational institutions
