Château de Termes by drone (Cathar Castle)

Built on a promontory, defended on three sides by formidable deep ravines, the castle only fell to Simon de Montfort in 1210, after a siege lasting four months, the hardest siege of the first period of the Albigensian Crusade. Following an exceptionally dry summer and autumn, the empty water tanks led the Cathar heretic Raymond de Termes to offer surrender. However, as the crusaders advanced to possess the castle, they were met with a hail of arrows. A heavy storm overnight had replenished the cisterns and the defenders were able to hold out a little longer. Later, weakened from dysentery and exposed to the fire of numbers of siege weapons, the garrison attempted unsuccessfully to creep out at night. The alarm was raised, the fugitives caught and killed, and Raymond surrendered the castle. After de Montfort's death, Raymond regained possession of the castle but was soon forced to give it up again, this time to the King of France. ____________________ This Channel has no financial or commercial gains.
