people wanted to fight in the crusades for many different reasons, such as:EVERYBODY WAS EAGER TO FIGHT IN THE CRUSADES BECAUSE THEY GET GRANTED INTO HEAVEN IF THEY DIE IN THE CRUSADESKnights fought in the crusades because of their love for war also for their lady.Fighting in this war meant honour and pride as well as the reasons above.
Merchants participated, motivated by the possibilities of increased trade.
Battles like Agincourt proved that knights were not best troop you can have on battlefield, knights were often impetuous and this was not always an advantage, a standing army defending a strategic position proved to be much more effective than a cavalry charge, much more strategys to defeat heavy cavalry of knights were developed and knights were always less effective, another reasons are the expenditure on knights wages, maintenance, rewards..etc
Men joined the Crusades for various reasons, including religious zeal to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control and to fulfill the call of the Pope, who promised spiritual rewards and absolution of sins. Economic incentives also played a role, as some sought land, wealth, and adventure. Additionally, the Crusades offered an opportunity for social mobility and the chance to gain honor and prestige in a time when feudal conflicts were common. Lastly, some men were motivated by a desire for camaraderie and a sense of belonging to a larger cause.

Watch the CBBC horrible histories - crusades clip on YouTube, I know that it appears basic and is rather cringworthy but I simplithies the crusades quite effectively :)
The crusades were fought for a variety of religious, economic, and political reasons and many historians see the Crusades as part of a purely defensive war against Islamic conquest.
