I'm sure there were a great many poor and uneducated and thought if they made the journey they would be rewarded with a better life. But then, many of the upper classes were also uneducated. But religious fervor was easier to manipulate in that time period as well.<br /><br />When I think about it, kids then were getting married and having kids themselves just past the *flow of blood*, boys were Knights before they reached 18. I think there is some validity to a group under 12 making the journey but maybe not as many as the church touted, but a good size group.<br /><br />Interesting subject. ~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359613645675472548.post-78727117725140502782012-10-22T15:50:34.618-07:002012-10-22T15:50:34.618-07:00Bryce Courtenay wrote a novel about it called Sylv...Bryce Courtenay wrote a novel about it called Sylvia - it was supposed to be a trilogy but I don't think he ever finished it...<br /><br />http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/137806.SylviaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901545600282648739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359613645675472548.post-58623174971774757872012-10-22T08:34:59.135-07:002012-10-22T08:34:59.135-07:00Yeah it's one not many people have heard of.
