They weren't allowed to work with metal (many were foresters and bakers). Weren't allowed into churches (they queued at the Cagot door to receive holy communion). They stretched throughout the Basque region and south-west France. And nobody knew - then or now - why they were ostracised.

Indeed - they play a pretty central part to the whole imPerfect Cathar mythos (Paul's dead wife was Cagot), and show up in several of the books.
I've been fascinated by them ever since stumbling across a Cagot Door in a church in the south-west of France while visiting an Israelite cemetery...

Gratuitous plug for my brother @cnrowan.bsky.social, who featured them in one of his novels (which tend to feature odd bits of history and mythology from SW France)
