[edit] before

According to the article (and countless historical sources), the People's Crusade occured BEFORE the first crusade.

So, why is it listed after the first crusade on the crusade template bar on the side?

Well, it's supposed to be part of the "First Crusade series" within that template, but it was difficult to make the template work that way. Adam Bishop 22:45, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aren't We Missing Alot?

While I'm far from being an expert on the subject, I have been studying the First Crusade for a school Research Paper. The accounts that I've looked at list much more information, and a slight variations on the account given here. Some of the variation may be due to my having not done a full study on the matter, but some of my favorite parts of the people's crusade were left out of this account, (most notably the crusaders deciding a goat and a duck were filled with the holy spirit) as well as some descriptions of the battles and characters that can be gleaned from accounts. I would really encourage an update on this section -- and would suggest reading the account written by Albert of Aachen which can be found is several primary source books.

Of course. This is an encyclopedia article - it summarizes the main points. If you want to read more, by all means, Wikipedia is just the very tip - it is like comparing a candy bar to a full-course meal. I would not suggest adding interesting but trivial tangents such as the goat and duck story unless there is a good reason. -- Stbalbach 01:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
