did i read it really wrong... but it seems to say 870 men defeated 40,000 i have my doubts:D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.160.9 (talk) 23:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- Same thought occurred to me. The figures are cited, but are there any other sources? Could somebody speaking Spanish investigate the Spanish wikipedia article on this subject?1812ahill (talk) 10:18, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

- The Spanish article also cites 870 vs. 20-40,000 men, but 'only' 10,000 dead. Still seems highly unlikely though, especially given that this battle was part of attempt of the church to crush the Cathars in the south of France and that as a result of their ultimate defeat most information regarding the Cathars was written, not by them, but by their enemies. Sounds like classic propaganda, a case of 'look a sign of the lord: the heretics were utterly smited'.1812ahill (talk) 10:31, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
- Agree, this is thorough bull based on some completely unreliable mediaeval source, with the modern sources cited ad usum delphini Complainer (talk) 00:46, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
