George was dead hundreds of years before the Crusades so did not participate.
All the kings would participate in the crusades for motives. Some would want to be richer, some wanted adventure and some were just moved by faith alone.
After the Byzantine and Crusader armies won their first victory at Nicaea in 1097, Emperor Alexius I sought to consolidate his power and re-establish Byzantine control over the region. He quickly secured the city for the Byzantine Empire, ensuring that it remained under his authority rather than falling solely into the hands of the Crusaders. Alexius also aimed to maintain diplomatic relations with the Crusaders, guiding their efforts while promoting Byzantine interests in the Holy Land. This victory marked a significant step in his broader strategy to reclaim lost territories and strengthen the empire.

Pope Urban II agreed to help Byzantine Emperor Alexius I because he wanted to unite the Christian church and support the Byzantine Empire against Muslim invaders during the First Crusade.
His father had also served with Alexius I Comnenus.
The Byzantine Emperor (Alexius) asked Pope Urban for Christian knights to help him fight the Muslims Turks.
The Byzantine emperor Alexius Comnenus wrote a letter to the council of Piacenza in 1095 asking for help to free the christians in Jerusalem from persucation of the Muslims. The pope, Urban II gave permission to kill the infidels (the muslims) at the council of clermont and this caused this mass expedition which followed into the capture of Jerusalem. This first expedition was the bowling ball for all of the other crusades that have followed.
