This page will delve into the questions of who, what, when, where, and why regarding the People\u2019s Crusade throughout its six month span, from April to October of 1096.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/history\/233-2020s\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=691&amp;action=edit\">Timeline of the People&#8217;s Crusade<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/history\/233-2020s\/the-peoples-crusade-of-1096\/battle-of-the-peoples-crusade\/\">Battles of the People&#8217;s Crusade<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/history\/233-2020s\/the-peoples-crusade-of-1096\/motivations-of-the-peoples-crusade-1096\/\">Motivations of the People&#8217;s Crusade <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/history\/233-2020s\/the-peoples-crusade-of-1096\/peter-the-hermit\/\">Peter the Hermit<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"http:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/history\/233-2020s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Peter-the-Hermit-doing-things-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"Peter the Hermit inspiring crusaders to join the cause \" class=\"wp-image-719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/history\/233-2020s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Peter-the-Hermit-doing-things-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/history\/233-2020s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Peter-the-Hermit-doing-things-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/history\/233-2020s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Peter-the-Hermit-doing-things-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ds.guilford.edu\/classes\/history\/233-2020s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Peter-the-Hermit-doing-things.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencesource.com\/Doc\/TR1_WATERMARKED\/7\/d\/a\/3\/SS22412154.jpg?d63710036698\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Peter the Hermit inspiring crusaders to join the cause  (opens in a new tab)\">Peter the Hermit inspiring crusaders to join the cause <\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The People\u2019s Crusade had a humongous historical significance; it set the foundation for the following European crusades that lasted for approximately two hundred years.
