The Peasants Crusade (1096-1096) was rallied in
response to the same problems that precipitated the
First Crusade. Two preachers called the peasants of
France to leave their fields and go to fight in the
Holy Land: Peter the Hermit and Walter the
Penniless. Famine, civil war, and sickness made
rural France an unpleasant place in which to live, so
the peasants went quite willingly in droves. This
Crusade was unorganized, and many of the people
who went had no idea what they were doing, where
they were going, or what they were in for. The
nobility of England who passed by these Crusaders
viewed them "with contempt as persons who had
altogether lost their wits," according to Ekkhard of
Aurach in Hierosolymita (ca. 1101). The deeds of
any peasants who did manage to fight with the
noble Crusaders of the First Crusade were
considered part of that First Crusade.
