A version of this is in the French wikipedia too. Doesn't make for very adult reading:Undaunted, he situated his army around the walls of the castle with the intention of eventually starving out the inhabitants. The plan began to work, and soon the citizens suffered from starvation. However, legend says that Dame Carcas, the widow of one of the castle's nobles devised a clever bluff. All of the remaining grain that could be found in the castle was brought together and fed to one pig. The fattened pig was then killed and catapulted over the walls toward the offending army. When Pepin saw that despite all the waiting so far, the villagers were still able to feed large portions of grain to their livestock, he and his army became demoralized and they withdrew their offensive. The people of Carcassonne were so pleased with Dame Carcas, that bells across the castle rang in her honor. Many historians believe this legend is the source of the name Carcassonne, derived from "Carcas sonne" (Dame Carcas rings).
The Roman name of Carcassonne is mentioned earlier in the article. This tale is unsourced, needless to say. -- Wetman 07:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

This gentleman
has just posted external links across 16 different wiki pages. I looked at the pages for Narbonne, Carcassonne and Canal du Midi and i can't help but think that this is excessive?? These are popular thorough wiki pages and i cant see how the links improve them??
I have removed the links from the 3 pages i look at. I would be happy to listen to suggestions as to why these links should stay up and if valid would reinstate them. Thoughts? Collieman 19:08, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
The reference to Viollet-le-Duc's restoration is out of place in the opening paragraph, and the information is in any case given later on.

Not sure those two sentences jive, King Pippin drove out the Saracens after 34 years of occupation in 759, but he couldn't take the fortress? Who was holding the fortress if the Saracens were driven out? -- Fxer 16:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Both pages have similar material although the material at Carcassonne has no references, Most of the 'Cité' article is in fact about Carcassonne. At the moment I can see no reason for a separate article. Dougweller ( talk) 13:23, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Dear contributors. I would like to ask you for advice. I'm translating old medieval document where is painted Carcassoone, just with one town wall around town and with name carcar. Under town is river. And next to this river is written canal. I have read that Canal du Midi was build between 1666 až 1681. But this manuscript seems to be much older. My question is: Is it possible that under Carcassone was canal even before 1666? Your answer can help me a lot. Thank you again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laco1234 ( talk • contribs) 12:55, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
I don't understand why the addition about Serious Sam 4 level that takes place in this location was reverted - apparently missing a reference? There are several other games mentioned in this article and none of these have a reference. 85.253.80.86 ( talk) 11:54, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
