European warriors who volunteered to fight for the Holy Land during the medieval period are commonly known as Crusaders. These knights and soldiers participated in a series of religious wars, primarily between the 11th and 13th centuries, aimed at reclaiming Jerusalem and other sacred sites from Muslim control. The Crusades were motivated by a mix of religious fervor, the promise of land and wealth, and the desire for adventure. Notable figures among the Crusaders included Richard the Lionheart of England and Godfrey of Bouillon.
