By the time Stephen of Cloyes and his followers reached Paris in 1212, they were exhausted, hungry and thirsty. But nothing could keep their leader from his bold mission. His entourage waited as Stephen demanded—and got—an audience from the King of France to ask for permission to conduct a crusade.

Stephen’s vision was grandiose: Along with his followers, he’d remove Muslims from Jerusalem and reclaim the Holy Land for Catholics. But there was something else striking about Stephen—he was just 12 years old.

“But though Nicholas and Stephen were labeled fanatics, their mystical mission to the Holy Land intrigued their followers. They held believers spellbound with sermons, songs and promises of miracles. Nicholas was so enthralling that he’s been called the inspiration for the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.”

WOW! A 12 years old and to have that power to unite and go forward with a grandiose plan. He lived when imagination and dreams could flourish...now we're in a time of berating the talented and great minds..sad. We almost FELL into this TRAP here on this Q thread.

We must go after the Freeper's of thought and courage/free/pedagogic thinking and informing.

Jack you too are an example of a stong Freeper who has been the blunt of many here and I too am sorry I haven't paid my respects to your insightful mind and the courage to stay and take the many arrows. I am blessed to finally wake up.
