The People's Crusade was only one part of the First Crusade, when paupers who were inspired by the preachings of various priests and monks tried to make a joint pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Since they needed less preparing, they departed before the main crusade, but were mostly crushed when they reached Turkey.
Some surviving members lingered in Constantinople and joined the army of nobles, when they arrived.
