Peter the Hermit was a priest of Amiens, in France. According to Anna Comnena, he attempted to go on
a pilgrimage to Jerusalem before 1096, but was prevented by the Turks from reaching his destination.
It is uncertain whether he was present at Urban's great sermon at Clermont in 1095; but it is certain
that he was one of the preachers of the crusade in France after that sermon, and his own experience
may have helped to give fire to his eloquence. He soon leapt into fame as an emotional revivalist
preacher; and thousands of peasants eagerly took the cross at his bidding. The "People's Crusade"
(crusade of the paupers), which forms the first act in the First Crusade, was his work; and he himself led
one of the five sections of the peoples crusade to Constantinople, starting from Cologne in April, and
arriving at Constantinople at the end of July 1096.
