Century of containing source section; exact event date not assigned

In the year 1211, or a little before, when the
count of Montfort, by order of the Pope, was exercising
great tyranny for the purpose of exterminating
the Albigenses, he learned, through an informer,
or in some other way, that in a place called Casser,
there resided many of these people, under the protection
of the lord of said place. He therefore went
to lay siege to it; but those within (namely, the
garrison), seeing that they would not be able to
hold out long, notwithstanding the place was tolerably
strong otherwise, capitulated, with this agreement,
that they would deliver into the hands of the
enemy, those called heretics (or Albigenses); these
the bishops sought to persuade to renounce their
faith, but they could not prevail upon them in the
least; in consequence of which sixty persons were
burnt for the sake of that religion. Chass. Hist.,
Albig., lib. 3, compared with A. M. Hist., fol. 456,
col. 4.
