Béziers

The Crusaders met in large assembly, and then marched to lay siege to the city of Beziers.

When the Pope's army arrived at a place called Beziers, the citizens were, of course, alarmed.

We start to-morrow at six for Beziers, where we expect to find water carriage to Toulouse.

We set off to-morrow at half-past five, in order to get into the coches d'eau at Beziers before 12 (the hour of starting).

There, crowding yon hill, with handsome houses and churches, is Beziers—the blood-stained city.
