The main countries that sent knights on the Crusades included France, England, the Holy Roman Empire, and Italy, particularly from regions like Venice and Genoa. Knights traveled to the Holy Land primarily by sea, boarding ships that transported them across the Mediterranean. Some also marched overland through Europe and the Byzantine Empire, forming large armies that made their way to Jerusalem. The motivation for these expeditions included religious fervor, the promise of land, and the pursuit of adventure.
