In 1213, forces led by King Peter II of Aragon, came to the aid of Toulouse.[37] The force besieged Muret,[38] but in September Battle of Muret led to the death of King Peter,[39] and his army fled (this battle also marks end of Aragonese foothold north of the Pyrénées). It was a serious blow for the resistance, and in 1214 the situation became worse: Raymond was forced to flee to England,[40] and his lands were given by the Pope to the victorious Philippe II,[citation needed] a stratagem which finally succeeded in interesting the king in the conflict. In November the always active Simon de Montfort entered Périgord[41] and easily captured the castles of Domme[42] and Montfort;[43] he also occupied Castlenaud and destroyed the fortifications of Beynac.[44] In 1215, Castelnaud was recaptured by Montfort,[45] and the crusaders entered Toulouse. Toulouse was gifted to Montfort.[46] In April 1216 he ceded his lands to Philippe.
