Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Montségur (page 1/1) ------ performed by Iron Maiden Béziers reference | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/10/2008 Absolutely beautiful interpretation of the Albigensian crusade against the French Cathar heritics and Christian brutality in general in the middle ages. Neca eos omnes, deus suos agnoscet. "Kill them all, God will know his own." Spoken by the Papal legate Arnaud-Amaury in 1209 at the siege of Béziers, not Montségur as in the song. Thirty thousand men, women, and children massacred, several thousand inside the city's church itself. The crusade is the same for Béziers and Montségur though, so the 'sentiment,' as it were, remains valid. The Béziers genocide reference alone makes this song, but - even without it - it would still be one of Maiden's best. Add Your New Review About The Song
