Meaning
A crusader is a Christian soldier or knight who participated in the Crusades, a series of religious wars fought between the Christian kingdoms of Europe and the Muslim states of the Near East.
Origin
The term "crusader" was first used in the 11th century to refer to those who took part in the First Crusade, which was launched by Pope Urban II in 1095. The Crusades were a series of religious wars fought for the purpose of recovering the Holy Land (the birthplace of Jesus) from the control of the Muslims.

The Crusades had a significant impact on European history, shaping the political and cultural landscape of the continent.
