This fire of the papal legate continued, like a
thunder-bolt, to burn and scorch among the defenseless
flock of Christ, called Albigenses, or heretics,
who had concealed themselves here and there,
wherever they thought they might be secure.

In the mean time, there were fifty of these people
at Chastelnau d’Ari, shut up and closely besieged,
together with all that were in that place, by the
count of Montfort, the commander-in-chief of the
papal legate. Finally, the place having been taken,
all these persons, as they would not depart from
their faith, were burnt alive, and thus, having commended
their souls unto God, they gave their bodies
for a burnt sacrifice.

Chassanion writes, that when the Count of Montfort
had taken the city of Chastelnau d’Ari, fifty
persons were found in it, who would rather be burnt
alive than return to the papistic religion. Compare
Chassau., lib. 3, cap. 16, with A. Mell., 2d book,
fol. 457, col. 1.
