This article starts out talking about how Peter tried to go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem before 1096, but was stopped by the Turks and was tortured. Apparently he preached in France and encouraged people to join the crusade. He led 40,000 people from France and after three months, and the loss of 10,000 people, arrived in Constantinople. He is credited by some as being the main force behind the first crusade, after a vision of seeing Jesus and being told to preach the crusade. The article gives some other details, but is still fairly empty of real information.

I would not recommend this article, unless only as a starting point for information about Peter the Hermit. I would dig a little deeper, as there is not much here. It is ranked as "start-class", by the military history Wikiproject, but has no other ratings by any of the other categories listed. There was some criticism as to the sources and the date of Peter’s death. It is unfortunate that there are no real external links for further reading. All links are to other wiki-articles about related subjects.
