The First Crusade was sanctioned by Pope Urban II. Whilst not being known as a 'crusade' back then, he did preach what in English would be known as a 'Great Journey' or 'Pilgrimage' to various bishops and lords at Clermont c.28th November 1095. Future 'crusades' as we have come to know them would be sanctioned by the papacy and the contemporary pope. So for example, Eugene/Eugenius III sanctioned the Second Crusade with the papal bull 'Quantum Predecessores' which roughly translates to "Our ancestors" or "The forefathers" which was a reference to the first crusaders. Innocent the III for example launched both the fourth and fifth crusades. This is the case with all AGREED UPON crusades (there's some debate over whether we can call any genocidal, religiously-motivated military campaigns 'crusades')
Hope that helps!

Monarchs, the church, and the Crusades were intertwined in medieval Europe. Monarchs often worked closely with the church to validate their rule and gain divine support. The Crusades were military campaigns sanctioned by the church, led by monarchs, with the goal of reclaiming the Holy Land from Muslim control. This collaboration between all three entities shaped the power dynamics and religious landscape of Europe during this period.
The Crusades are considered holy wars because they were military campaigns sanctioned by the Catholic Church with the aim of reclaiming holy land, specifically Jerusalem, from Muslim control. The crusaders believed they were fighting for a righteous cause and were granted absolution for their sins.
