Peter the Hermit, a priest of
Amiens, who may, as Anna
Comnena says, have attempted to
go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem

prevented by the Turks from
reaching his destination.
He soon leapt into fame as an
emotional revivalist preacher: his
very ass became an object of
popular adoration; and thousands
of peasants eagerly took the cross
at his bidding.
