The child who led the Children's Crusade in 1212 is commonly referred to as Stephen of Cloyes.

What was the miracle Jesus told Stephen de Cloyes would happen?

Stephen de Cloyes claimed to have had a vision of Jesus Christ and claims that in this vision he was told he would lead a crusade to peacefully covert Muslims to Christianity. According to one account, he led his followers (reported by some to be either children or the poor, or a combination of the two in some stories) to cross the Mediterranean Sea. Upon arriving there the sea was expected to part for them to cross. It did not. One legend says he and his followers were subsequently sold into slavery when they boarded a merchant ship to cross the sea. Many historians believe this crusade (Children's Crusade) never occurred.
