The peasants had no choice except to do as they were told. Those in charge stood to gain power, money and land. Also, at that time almost everyone was a faithful member of the Catholic church, and believed that by fighting in the crusades they gained their own salvation. In addition, the peasants were freed from their boring farming tasks if they chose to fight.
