The people who followed Peter the Hermit during the First Crusade faced significant hardships. Many were untrained peasants who lacked proper supplies and military support, leading to disastrous encounters with local forces as they traveled through Eastern Europe. Ultimately, many of them perished in battles or starvation, while others were captured or enslaved. The movement highlighted the challenges of unorganized crusader efforts before the more structured military campaigns commenced.
