Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

About the close of the year 1211, it is recorded,
the legate of the Pope, having gone forth utterly to
extirpate all those that professed the confession of
the abovementioned Albigenses, was apprised, that
over eighty, but according to others, about a hundred
of that sect or heresy, as it was called, were
concealed on, or in, a tower at Cassas. They had
been sent thither by those of Rogueville (who, it
seems, were not willing that any of these defenseless
people should remain among them), that they
might save their lives, until this blood-thirsty man
should have passed by. Having learned this, the
legate very easily surprised, captured and demolished
this tower, and caused all those that were in
it—like sheep for the slaughter in the fold, who
would not abandon their faith, to be burned alive
as heretics. Chass., lib. 3, cap. 15. Also, A. Mell.,
2d book, fol. 457, col. 1.
