Born in the middle of the XI E century, Pierre d' Archères, said the Hermit, probably originating in Amiens, had probably already traversed what the Christian world regarded as the Holy Land when Urbain II launched his call to the crusade on November 27 1095 at the time of the council of Clermont. The reason for the pope was that the Turks who had conquered Jerusalem on the Abbasid Arabs in 1073, prohibited from now on the access of the holy Places to the Christian pilgrims.
Pierre the Hermit was one of the popular preachers, those which the historian Jacques Heers called the “insane ones of God”. Those, associated the diffusion of the pontifical call, drained broad audiences to which they preached the reform of manners.
Historical work starts to develop on the first persecutions against the Jews at the time of the “German” crusades. The historian Jean Richard notes:
- “A recent study of the historian Jean Flori again stressed the originality of the crusade, such as it was préchée by these preachers, in what it did not follow only the lines traced by Urbain II in his speech of Clermont, in particular by introducing into their sermons a antijuive note which was going to result in the exactions whose Jews of the Rhineland and the valley of the Danube were the principal victims.”
While préchant from Bourges in Cologne, the eloquence of Pierre raised the enthusiasm of thousands of Christians (more than 12000 men) who are reflected moving in May 1096 and reached Constantinople as of the end of July when the movement still became extensive.
Being itself advanced until Nicomédie Pierre the Hermit could not maintain there the discipline of his troop and in front of the first reverses, went back itself from there to Constantinople to ask the support of the basileus, the emperor Alexis Comnène. Meanwhile, its army was massacred by the Turks with the camps of Civitot and it waited until Western princes came to him in reinforcement with their men in May 1097.
Jerusalem was taken 15 Friday July 15 1099 and Pierre became chaplain of the victorious army. Its sermon on the Mount of Olives was followed setting to bag of the city.
Returned in Huy (Belgium) in 1100, Pierre the Hermit founded the monastery of Neufmoustier there, where it finishes his days in 1115.
