The Children's Crusade

There's another little crusade and now the the numbering of the crusades breaks down here a little bit because the people at the time wouldn't have called it the first crusade or the second crusade or the third crusade they would just have to call it the crusades. There's this very awful episode that takes place in the year 1212 called the fifth or the children's crusade which focuses on Puerri, meaning 'children' The whole thing you know barely gets out of Italy and most of those people are captured killed and sold into slavery so you could see that the crusading ideal wrapped up in knighthood and chivalry reaching back to El Sid in the song of Roland is just collapsed
