The majority of those who fought in the Crusades were from the nobility and the warrior class, including knights and their retinues. However, many commoners, including peasants and townsfolk, also participated, especially in the earlier Crusades, motivated by religious fervor, the promise of land, or the hope of adventure. Overall, the crusading forces were predominantly composed of individuals from the upper and lower nobility, with a significant contingent of common people joining as well.
That would be the Burghers, or the middle class. After the crusades, trade required a money economy to be used throughout Europe, undermining the way the Feudal system worked. Lords had to pay their serfs, and there was little way for them to do that. As a result, many of the lords lost land and the serfs on it were freed, becoming the Middle Class. Another reason that some of the lords were displaced is because some nobles died in battle in the Crusades and their land went to kings. Other nobles sold their land for war supplies and allowed their serfs to buy freedom and inhabit the town or be free on the land. The middle class was also on kings' good sides in the first place because the King could collect taxes from them to fund wars.

crusades!!!
The bourgeoisie was the new social class that emerged as a result of the Crusades. It was dominated by the property-owning class and this class played a role in history by revolutionizing industry and modernizing society.
bourgeoisie
They are from all social classes but the majority are probably working class.
lowerclass
The majority are middle class, followed by lower. Upper make up a large minority.
The middle class grew partly as a result of the crusades, and this included both merchants and people engaged in transportation. I would not say that they resulted from the Crusades, however, as they had existed all along. The Republic of Venice, which benefited from the Crusades to a great degree, had been a middle class state since the 7th or 8th century. And guilds, which were a distinctly middle class type of organization, had existed from as early as the 6th century, and possibly continuously since ancient times.
The Crusades involved a range of social classes, primarily knights and nobles who sought glory, land, and religious favor. They were often accompanied by lower-class peasants and soldiers, motivated by a mix of religious zeal and the promise of material gain. Additionally, clergy and religious leaders played significant roles in organizing and promoting the Crusades, while merchants sought economic opportunities from the increased trade associated with the campaigns. Overall, the composition of the armies reflected a cross-section of medieval society, united by a common religious cause.
The more humble class of ancient Rome is typically referred to as the "plebeians." This class comprised the majority of the population, including farmers, laborers, and artisans, who had limited political power and social status compared to the patricians, the aristocratic elite. Plebeians fought for their rights and representation, leading to significant social and political reforms, such as the establishment of the Tribune of the Plebs. Over time, some plebeians gained wealth and influence, but the class distinction remained a prominent aspect of Roman society.
Most medieval people were peasants. Depending on the time or place, these were of different types, including Roman-style coloni, slaves, serfs, freemen, yeomen, and others. Peasants worked on farms, but the laborers of towns were of the same social class, and were very often also serfs.
