The Siege of Toulouse was a military engagement which took place from June 17 to June 29, 1211 during the Albigensian Crusade. It took place in the Occitania region of southern France against the city of Toulouse. The siege was led by Simon de Montfort and was the first of three sieges against Toulouse during the conflict. The siege lasted for almost two weeks before the crusaders were forced to lift the siege due to lack of manpower and supplies.
