"IN 1212 SOME 70,000 CHILDREN LEFT EUROPE IN HOLY CRUSADE

FOR JERUSALEM. THEY WERE TO DISAPPEAR IN TO HISTORY"

AND

"WHEN, LO, AS THEY REACHED THE MOUNTAINSIDE,

A WONDROUS PORTAL OPENED WIDE.

AS IF A CAVERN WAS SUDDENLY HALLOWED

AND THE PIPER ADVANCED, AND THE CHILDREN FOLLOWED..."

FROM THE PIED PIER OF HAMELIN BY ROBERT BROWNING.

REF ABOVE FROM BOOK, THE PILGRIM, THE GREATEST CRUSADE BY JAMES JACKSON

MANY DIED - FEW RETURNED? - MANY WERE TRICKED INTO 7 BOATS "INTO SLAVERY"

THE CENSORSHIP SPEAKS VOLUME 

LOOK FOR THE 70,000 MISSING CHILDREN? = MANY DELETED/MISSING STRANGE LINKS? AND UNREADABLE IMAGES

LIKE THE PIED PIPER, DENIED AS MYTH - TURNED OUT ONLY RECENTLY PROVEN WITH 42 EVENTS IN TOTAL!

THE CHILDREN CRUSADE - APPEARS TO HAVE Too MANY REFERENCE TO BE MYTH... 

A PRIEST RETURNS AND TELL THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED - ONLY TO DISAPPEAR... 

THE STORY IS RECORDED IN GREAT DETAIL WITH REFERENCES - 

Here Thirty thousand, + twenty thousand, 50,000 Children - Plus later last group 3?

"Awed contemporaries spoke of thirty thousand, not one over twelve years of age" LED BY STEPHEN of Cloyes in France, 

The town could not contain them all, and they encamped in the fields outside.

Seven vessels were hired by the merchants, and the children were taken aboard and set out to sea. Eighteen years passed before there was any further news of them.

A 2ND CHILDREN CRUSADE ARMY - LED BY NICHOLAS of Cologne in Germany. BUT LATER SPLIT INTO 2 GROUPS (TOTAL 3 GROUPS)

Within a few weeks, an army of children had gathered at Cologne

The expedition split into two parties. The first, numbering, according to the chroniclers, twenty thousand, was led by Nicholas himself.

The sea was as impervious to their prayers as it had been to the French at Marseilles.

Several great families of Genoa later claimed to be descended from this alien immigration. But Nicholas and the greater number moved on.

There two ships bound for Palestine agreed to take several of the children, who embarked and who perhaps reached Palestine; but nothing is known of their fate.

Nicholas, however, still awaited a miracle, and trudged on with his faithful followers in Rome.

At Rome, Pope Innocent received them. He was moved by their piety but embarrassed by their folly. With kindly firmness, he told them that they must now go home.

Angry parents whose children had perished insisted on the arrest of his father, who had, it seems, encouraged the boy out of vainglory. He was taken and hanged.

The second company of German pilgrims was no more fortunate. 

When the sea failed to divide for them, they moved slowly down the East Coast as far as Brindisi.

There, a few of them found ships sailing to Palestine and were given passages; but the others returned and began to wander slowly back again.

Only a tiny number returned at last to their homes.

1230 a priest arrived in France from the East with a curious tale to tell.

He had been, he said, one of the young priests who had accompanied Stephen to Marseilles and had embarked with them on the ships provided by the merchants
