Did the children's crusade really happen?

by Re-Misterio

Hi! I have been thinking recently if the really thought sending children to a crusade would be succesful. I looked it up and found loads of information on how it escalated, but most of it is only assumed. It is also said that very few codexes mention it. I have even found an article saying that they refered to the people from the crusade as ,,pueri" which both meant ,,boy" and ,,poor". So it might have been a translation error. I am interested if anyone has done deer researches on the subject and of yes what were the results?

While there’s always more to say on the subject, u/sunagainstgold has written about the Children’s Crusades before here.
