'''Peter of Bruys''' was a Priest in the [[Roman Catholic Church]] in the 1100s. He believed that crosses worn around the neck, in remembrance of Christ's Sacrifice, were a type of graven image or idol. At Saint Gilles in southern France, Bruys gathered crosses to burn them. He was seized by a mob, then bound and burned on the same pile of crosses. His ideas contributed to later heresies as well.
