What Happened when Children tried to go on a Crusade?
Vložit

- The Children’s Crusade. Some depict it as a holy war with children at the centre, others as a movement by a few individuals that could not be truly classified as a crusade, as it was not officially authorised by the church.

In the Netherlands there is a book called "Kruistocht in Spijkerbroek", translated it means "Crusade in Jeans". It is based on the story of Nicolas. Where a boy from then the 80s, ends up in the crusade after an accident with a timemachine. This book is very long and details all the "adventures" the kids went through. To me it was and is a treasured childhood memory reading this book.

Imagine you're a peasant from the most deprived part of the city and you hear about a random blonde kid who wants to play moses by leading you on a journey to the sea.

Peasant: sure why not? I will hang out with lil'moses
They weren't as common as you think
This is why, yknow - these are written in history. I'm certain there were more than one hunger inducded madness episodes of a person thinking he's the new prophet or moses and asking people to join him on his journey.
We just know about the "Successful" ones. The scarier thought is what kind of charisma and conviction they had to have in order to do such things and succeed.

Wow...what a lie/bs in the opening sentences...the crusades were not out to conquer to anything but they were the response to the systematic genocides of Christians and all other peoples committed by islam as it spread from the desert onwards. You can not conquer that which is/was yours. Remember kids, everywhere there is islam it is because it killed what was there before, wherever it goes, all else dies. Convert or die, the devils doing. Look at any history time/place and you will find this is true and historical data is best data.
I think that the European warm period, prior to the Black Death, had given Europe a population boom. However, this resulted in a big number of landless unskilled young men at a time when fertile land and skill in a trade was needed to make a living, so they were easily swayed to any fanatical cause by charismatic leaders
Hey okay not the worst idea but but it's up high
The second sentence could fit at any time in history lol
It's funny how we have the same situation with Joe Biden and the ukraine.

i recall a saying a Religion is a dangerous drug, anyone who follows it madly will even ignore their own safety and others leading them to their doom
I think it was either a large group of young adults praying for Christian victory in the Holy Land and or a cautionary tale to not blindly follow someone.

What are the odds of that? Very creepy coincidence
@@FearlessP4P1 They knew what they were doing. It's not like school curriculum is secret and no doubt the clergy's kids go to that school as well and told their parents.
@Gеnshin lmрасt 🅥 go touch grass
History is full of charismatic individuals leading others on journeys to nowhere. Sometimes the leader truly believes, sometimes the idea of having followers just gets out of hand.
This is usually how cults form

What kids sword fighting with sticks hope to achieve:
I always keep a very cool looking stick cause it looks like a sword, but I get sad when I have to get rid of it
12 Year old then: In the name of the Lord, I shall retake the Holy Land from the heathens
12 Year old now: *Cries when you take away their phone*
Lol
he cant take the holy land without his wi-fi conection to god

Please do a video on the battle of Delville wood. As a South African it would be truly amazing to see our troops remembered on this channel.
Thank you..
I drive past à tree grow from a cutting or seed... I'm not certain which that was taken from the only tree left standing in that wood.
I think most of these people were simply bored out of their mind doing peasant work, and just wanted to do something, _anything_ that wasn't simply mindless toil.
What this really shows is that these kids were desperate for hope and that children are a lot more powerful and intelligent than the general populace gives them credit for.
Hey Simple History, how about you do an episode on the history of writing the death messages. Im not entirely sure what they’re called verbatim but they are most famously shown in Saving Private Ryan with a room full of women with type writers. I believe this to be an interesting topic right up your alley.
From what we know independently, charismatic "child" prophets wandering the countryside weren't even that unusual for Medieval Europe. The darker side is that many of them would really have been teens and young adults like Joan of Arc engaged in revolt against the church, the nobility or both. The tales told about the Children's Crusade were ultimately a means to minimize and discourage such activity.
The question is how did they acquire food and water? You can only march a few days without sustenance and I can only imagine most kids call it quits after marching a few days and go back home.
probably died on their return way home

2:55 Assuming Nicholas wasn’t crazy and was just lying; imagine the amount of stress that was going through his head when his movement began to gain more and more momentum, until he had actually reached the Mediterranean.
“Master Skywalker, there’s too many of them. What are we going to do?”
Love your videos keep up the great work
Kid on the battle field charging to the enemy: “ha we got you!”
Enemy: “well you don’t anymore”
*decapitates the kid’s head off the body*
This was a great video. You should do one about the confederados, defectors from the civil war when the union won, about 20,000 fled to Brazil.
danke, dass du diese gemacht hast
It seems rather strange that you have two shepherds boys in 1212 being the leaders of two separate children's crusades.
I wonder if both are actually retellings of the same story but their country/boy of origin are switched for random reasons. Or that the tale got sort of mythized between the two different countries who created origin stories of them for their specific regions.
Funny you should talk of this crusade on the very day i’m preparing my suitcase for my holidays in my grandmother’s house in Cloyes, the home of Stephen (in french Etienne) of Cloyes. Cheers from France!
Coincidence ? I think not !

I am very keen after watching this story. I hope that we will continue to shoot more new unusual video.
Very good job fellows!! Congratulations.

Also your videos are great
Honestly the abuse of religion and what it has done to humanity through out history....
Great vid
I was so confused when I read the title when I actaully read it correctly
Next you should do a video on polish-soviet war 1920 a war forgotten outside of poland.
Me and the boys on our way to reclaim the holy land:
Hey simple history! Can you do an episode of vitold pilecki?
Would apreciate it much if you did!
I've been watching your content for years now

Interesting video
Slave owner: Hey, I know I'm your enemy and all but you need to be my everyday slave without putting a fight.
Children crusaders: Understandable, have a nice day 👍🏽
Please fo a video about the 1955 St. Lawrence Island shootdown incident over Alaska.
Simple History, Can you please make a video about the origin of martial arts?
Hey, you should make a video about this. There is a movie called “As Far As My Feet Carry Me” released in 2001. It’s about a German POW who tried to escape from gulags and make it back to Germany
Ahh the good old days of child soldiers
Wish we could turn back time

When i was 12 crossing two roads to the next street 5-10 minutes away from home to do whatever was considered a pilgrimage at that time. This kid at 12 being away hundreds of km from home wanted to cross continents for the lulz
Out of all the crusades, the *Children Crusade* was my favorite
I don't know why, but after i saw the title.
For some unexplained reason I imagined a bunch of crazy teens and (psychopathic) kids going to participate in Operation Desert Storm (1991)
this polearm is rated E for everyone
Hold up, the song starting at 4:39 sounds familiar. Does anyone know its name?
I have two ideas for more men of valor videos:
1. The British soldier in WW1 who inspired his fellow soldiers by playing the bagpipes
2: the American soldier in WW2 who called an airstrike on himself to take out the enemy
I feel like the second story is the origin for "danger close"
This is a sentence I never thought I'd read.
Another awesome story from the pages of history. That being said, beginning an examination of historical events by boiling the crusades down to an attempted land grab by the Christians... bit of an L.

I learned about this when I was in middle school in my world history class ~2003-4. I learned that they all were enslaved on their route to the Holy lands.

@Simple History When will you do a video on the FGM-148 Javelin, it's origins and significance in the current war in Ukraine?
there are many channels that done that
Is it just me or when it got to the part about Stefan you could hear Metatron's theme intro song but a remixedish version lol. I know I've heard it somewhere other than that but I don't know the song's name.
This is interesting
It is impossible for children and youths to march through all these hardships.
I’m guessing you’d also be surprised that some countries use child soldiers?
Youll be surprised with what kind of hardship children are bearing around the world
oh you will be surprised how Religion can make that possible or a dedication on their faith or their ideology
Maybe modern children. Kids had to mature much, much faster the further back in history you go.
kids is different back then
