PETER THE HERMIT PREACHING THE CRUSADES
The singularity of his appearance was a spectacle for the people, whilst the austerity of his manner, his charity, and the moral doctrines that he preached, caused him to be revered as a saint. . . They who touched his vestments exteemed themselves happy, and a portion of hair pulled from the mule he rode was preserved as a holy relic. At the sound of his voice differences in families were reconciled, the poor were comforted, the debauched blushed at their errors. - Book I Addition notes:When the Crusaders were besieging Antioch and dying from starvation, Peter ran away, but was caught and brought back in disgrace to camp. Vide (Bohemund, William of Tyre) Book III. See also his disastrous leadership of the First Crusade, Book II.
