Als Catars 1210

Monument to the Cathars killed by our own dear Simon de Montfort in 1210.

 

Actually, I think the one that slaughtered the Cathars and the one credited with the founding of British freedom aren't one and the same. I have yet to get this one straight.

 

PS (14 Dec 2011) The Crusader who slaughtered the Cathars was the father of the parliamentary one. I wonder how long I'll keep that straight in my mind!
