people wanted to fight in the crusades for many different reasons, such as:EVERYBODY WAS EAGER TO FIGHT IN THE CRUSADES BECAUSE THEY GET GRANTED INTO HEAVEN IF THEY DIE IN THE CRUSADESKnights fought in the crusades because of their love for war also for their lady.Fighting in this war meant honour and pride as well as the reasons above.
Merchants participated, motivated by the possibilities of increased trade.
Battles like Agincourt proved that knights were not best troop you can have on battlefield, knights were often impetuous and this was not always an advantage, a standing army defending a strategic position proved to be much more effective than a cavalry charge, much more strategys to defeat heavy cavalry of knights were developed and knights were always less effective, another reasons are the expenditure on knights wages, maintenance, rewards..etc
The significance of this particular battle was because of the racism reasons as well as the fur trade reasons

The Crusades
because hey were bored
Merchants was the group that was especially interested in winning the Crusades for some reasons. :)
people went on crusades for many reasons like to please god, to runaway from the law, get more land or help their reputation
black death (plague) and crusades
To capture the Holy Land from the Saracens
Watch the CBBC horrible histories - crusades clip on YouTube, I know that it appears basic and is rather cringworthy but I simplithies the crusades quite effectively :)
Peasants joined the crusades for many reasons, some because they wanted to go to the holy land for pilgrimage others because they wanted to participate in the sacrament of reconciliation and were unable to give gifts of money to the church. To get out of debt.
The crusades were fought for a variety of religious, economic, and political reasons and many historians see the Crusades as part of a purely defensive war against Islamic conquest.
