What was the childrens crusades?

Answer 1

The children's Crusades was when a twelve-year-old and a ten-year-old decided they were going to gather up all of their friends and sail over to Jerusalem (Palestine) and conquer the Holy Land themselves. None of them ever made it; half turned around and went home, about a fourth was sunk at sea, and the other fourth disappered. They could have been captured and sold in Africa as slaves or went down at sea, no one knows; there's no record of anything that happened to them just poof! gone. ok maybe not "poof" but as i said, no one knows.

Answer 2

The Children's Crusade is one of the more unusual events in Medieval England. A boy called Stephen of Cloyes was in charge of the crusade. He preached to other kids around his age (12) and younger about a letter he received from Christ, and managed to get around 30,000 to follow him. They didn't know how long it would take to go from Vendome to Marseilles. Many left during the journey while some of the others died. In the end, most of them became slaves or died, and the ones that did survive were adults at this time. It was a failed crusade.

Answer 4

The Children's Crusade was a fourth Crusade which occurred in 1212. The average age of the children was 12. They were sent to rid the Holy Land of Muslims and Turks, since the first three Crusades had failed. The people believed the children would succeed because the children have not sinned as much as adults, because they have not lived long enough. The children never made it to the Holy Land. They all either were swept off the boat, starved, or were tricked and sold into slavery.

Answer 6

The Children's Crusades were a series of religious crusades in the 13th century in which large groups of European children and young teenagers attempted to reach the Holy Land to fight against the Muslims, believing they could succeed where adults had failed. These crusades were tragic events, as most of the children either perished during the journey or were captured and sold into slavery.
