Childrens' Crusade Help

Post by Karl Helweg »

My nephew has chosen to write a report on the Childrens' Crusade and is having trouble finding any good sources. This seems to be one of those "everyone knows" subjects. I have also posted in the I Wanna Be section. ANy good source (that he can get) would be greatly appreciated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_crusade is a good overview; there's an interesting bit at http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/1212pueri.html too.

Most of the books out on the "Children's Crusade" are fictionalized and/or novels. (How old is your nephew? He might enjoy the juvie books, as long as he knows that they're fiction.) :)
