Bernard II Jordan

Bernard II Jordan (c. 1181–1228) was lord of L'Isle-Jourdain in Gascony from 1205. He was the eldest son of Jourdain III and Esclarmonde of Foix, called the Great Esclarmonde, who received the Cathar consolamentum in 1204 and became a central figure of Catharism.

He married Indie, an illegitimate daughter of Count Raymond V of Toulouse, and his rule spanned most of the Albigensian Crusade. On his death in 1228 his sons Bernard III and Jourdain IV succeeded him in turn; another son, Bertrand, later became bishop of Toulouse.
