He was there to preach the the Crusade; a letter that he claims to be given to him by Christ him self. King Philip didn't care much for what Stephen had to say and told him to go home. So, he began to preach in front of the entrace to Saint-Denis and to inform the town, he'd lead a band of children to rescue Christendom. Children massed at Vendome, over thirt thousand children, all of the age not higher than twelve. They had two parties that split up and traveled west and north, to try to fight for Jerusalem.
