From the Memories of Ioannis Romei for the second siege of Messolonghi (ASNa, Bourbon Archive, 899, ” Bulletin of the Historical and Ethnological Society of Greece “, 25, Athens 1982: The high school once and rich Messolonghi was nothing but a bunch of ruins. All men were crushed without any exceptions, women and girls crawled into slavery and Islamized. The Upper Porta was reacting to the wilderness transformed into a vast cemetery by the corpses. On April 11, 1826, 20 injured or sick Greek children and 52 old ladies were cruelly killed, others in the camp and others on the way to Krioneri, from their hard masters who couldn’t sell them they don’t give them not even to eat. Then they cut off their ears. History will deliver at the latest the glorious successes of Messolonghi heroes, but also the actions of the most unheard barbarism of Muslims.”
