Church History for Chumps

116. The Crusades Begin...The People's Crusade


Listen Later

The stage is finally set: the Western Christians have heard the call to the Holy Land, and have responded with resounding affirmation.

The first of the waves of Europeans to head for Jerusalem wasn't quite what you'd imagine though. Led by the charismatic open-air preacher Peter the Hermit, a band of thousands of untrained soldiers headed East to participate in the early crusade. The results were...mixed to say the least. 

Join us as we explore the honestly kind of terrible People's Crusade. We'll also discuss whether we've been kind to the Anabaptists, what our next Chump Talk should be, and whether Taylor's mom needs to wear sunglasses.
