Talk:Walter the Penniless

walter the penniless----

I think that is how you denote a new topic, with the dashes. I was under the impression that Walter led the peasants much against the bidding of the Church and Nobility,(which makes sense, seeing as how the absence of the peasantry could mean a dramatic reduction of meal frequency to the higher-ups) and after having his legions of peasants slaughtered, began to trek back home to France. On the way home, I was taught that the real crusaders ran into him, and dragged him to the Holy Land with them, where he was ultimately killed. Perhaps I am wrong, I'll read into it. I find it hillarious how disastrous the whole of the Crusades turned out to be, just a complete debacle.
