Answer:

People's crusade

Step-by-step explanation:

The People's Crusade was the first, largest, and best documented of the popular crusades. It lasted roughly six months from April to October 1096 and is categorized either as a prelude to the First Crusade or is also known as the Peasants' Crusade, Paupers' Crusade or the Popular Crusade as it was not part of the official Catholic Church-organised expeditions that came later. Led primarily by Peter the Hermit with forces of Walter Sans Avoir, the untrained peasant army was destroyed by the forces of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum under Kilij Arslan at the Battle of Civetot in northwestern Anatolia
