Walter Sans Avoir (in French Gautier Sans-Avoir; died 21 October 1096) was the lord of Boissy-sans-Avoir in the Île-de-France. His name is often mistranslated as Walter the Penniless. While the words in his name do literally mean "Walter without having", the name actually derives from that of his demesne (and, ultimately, the motto of his family), Sans avoir Peur ("Fearless"). As lieutenant to Peter the Hermit, he co-led the People's Crusade at the beginning of the First Crusade. Read more on Wikipedia
