First of all, most knights were not sent by their kings; they practically all volunteered to join the crusades. The promise of the vast riches of the Orient and the hopes of plunder also saw to that.Of course, if a king went himself they would almost automatically join him, because under the feudal system they were morally bound to do so.
The knights were the professional soldiers / officers of the day, so it is logical that they formed the core of any crusader army, usually each bringing along a group of trained soldiers for whose upkeep they paid. In the few cases where a crusader army consisted mostly of devout civilians with little or no military experience and with no knights to lead them, none of them came even close to Palestine, having already been defeated or scattered as soon as they entered Muslim territory.
