The '''siege of Fort Beauregard''' (2–5 July 1760) was conducted by Wampanoagian General Chaska Sóchep against the Lysian-held Fort Beauregard. After several days of bombardment, De Vausges surrendered to Sóchep. The term of surrender included the withdrawal of the garrison. But when the gates of the fort opened, the Wampanoagian massacred almost the entire garrison mercilessly, beheading, scalping the surrendering soldiers. Only a handful managed to flee. The Wampanogian then burned the fort and left the corpses behind. Even today historians debate the outbreak of this massacre. Confusion? Wrong translation? Revenge? Investigations are still ongoing.
