first comment[edit]

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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChristopherKilbourn (talk • contribs) 06:35, 24 February 2006(UTC)

Yes, I think you are wrong. Swanny18 (talk) 12:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How he died[edit]

My source, Tyerman's 'God's War' states that Albert of Aachen recorded Walter dying from seven arrows, and gives the source as: "Albert of Aachen, Historia, p. 288.

I'm not sure if that refers to Susan Edgington's newest translation, or another source he cites elsewhere, which is RHC Documents occidentaux IV (Paris 1844-95). Any thoughts? I'm not willing to put the circumstances of his death until I know where it comes from. Aberjan (talk) 07:07, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stop the press, I found it in Susan B. Edgington's Historia Ierosolimitana. Aberjan (talk) 20:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
