I’d be deeply offended being compared to a Crusader.

Simon de Montfort:

Simon remained on his estates in France, where in 1209 he was elected captain-general of the French forces in the Albigensian Crusade by his fellow nobles, reportedly after several larger players had turned down the role. He led the siege and subsequent sack of Bziers on 22 July 1209 when the entire population of twenty thousand Cathars and Catholics were slaughtered.[3] Thousands sought sanctuary in the Cathedral of St Nazaire which was set on fire and also in the Eglise de la Madeleine inside which all were butchered to death. “Tuez les tous, Dieu reconnaitra les siens” - “Kill them all, God will recognize his own” was the famous quotation which exonerated the rampaging Crusaders.
