Peter the Hermit (c. 1050 – 8 July 1115 or 1131), also known as Little Peter, Peter of Amiens (fr. Pierre d'Amiens) or Peter of Achères (fr. Pierre d'Achères), was a Roman Catholic priest of Amiens and a key figure during the military expedition from France to Jerusalem, known as the People's Crusade. Amongst Jews he is best remembered for the massacres of Jews that occurred under his leadership and the precedent they set for subsequent Crusades. He is by some called Blessed Peter the Hermit,[1] although he has not been beatified in the Catholic Church.[2][3][4]
