   April 12
   
   1229: Albigensians, From 1208 until this date a Crusade was held in
   the southwest corner of France (Languedoc or Provence) against a
   people who called themselves Christians. Others called them
   Albigensians after their town of Albi, or [2]Cathars. Their crime was
   a heretical interpretation of the religion and too much political
   power, in the person of Raymond VI of Toulouse (1194-1212), who on the
   onset of the crusade declared himself Catholic and tried to lead it,
   but later fought for the Cathars.
   
   1567: George is Foreman,
   [3]George 4th Earl Caithness is foreman of the Jury at the trial that
   acquitted James, Earl of Bothwell, for the murder of Lord Darnley.
   Darnley then married Mary Queen of Scots.
   
   1700: Darien II abandoned, The Colony is abandoned for the second
   time. Pimienta takes possession of it. The Hope of Bo'ness sails to
   Carthagena. Her master surrenders the ship to the Spanish.
