The children’s crusade was a crusade fought and led by children. This was one of those unusual events that occurred during the medieval times. In the year 1212CE tens of thousands of young people set out from northern France and western Germany to the holy land of Jerusalem unarmed, yet determined to conquer what was once their descendant’s. while never actually receiving authorisation, this so-called crusade was a complete disaster. Nne of the children had actually reached the holy land, many were said to have been sold into slavery and thousands never returned at all.
