Crusaders joined the cause for a variety of reasons, including religious fervor and the desire to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. Many were motivated by the promise of spiritual rewards, such as forgiveness of sins and the opportunity for martyrdom. Additionally, economic incentives, such as land acquisition and wealth, along with the lure of adventure and the chance to gain social status, also played significant roles in attracting participants to the crusades.
European Crusaders believed that they were doing an important service for the Christian religion. Crusades were officially declared by the Pope, and all loyal Christians felt a religious obligation to serve what they believed to be a holy cause.
The crusaders who were the Peasant crusaders in 1096 and the Noble crusaders in 1097 wanted to re- capture the Holy Land which was important to them, as they were Christians. The Peasant crusaders failed, so the Nobles had to step up and take back the Holy Land.
Balian of Ibelin decided to join the Crusaders primarily to defend Jerusalem against the advancing forces of Saladin. He was motivated by a sense of duty to protect the Christian population in the city and uphold his family's legacy. Additionally, Balian sought to assert his authority and secure his position in the tumultuous political landscape of the Levant during that era. His leadership and resolve became crucial in the defense of Jerusalem during the besiegement.
