while there remains doubt that the abbot said these words – also paraphrased as "kill them all, god will know his own", "kill them all, god will sort his own", or "kill them all,/and let god sort them out" – there is little if any doubt that these words captured the spirit of the assault, and that the crusaders intended to kill the inhabitants of a stronghold that offered resistance. however, typically that would involve killing the men, not women and children, and not the clergy. the crusaders allowed the routiers to rampage and kill without restraint, but quickly stepped in when it came to the loot.
