While English participation in the First Crusade between 1095 and 1099 was limited, England played a prominent part in the Second, Third and Fifth Crusades over the next two centuries, with many crusaders leaving for the Levant during the intervening years.
Mens den engelske deltagelse i det første korstog mellem 1095 og 1099 var begrænset, så spillede England en stor rolle i det andet, tredje og femte korstog over de næste to århundreder, hvor mange korsfarere rejste til Levanten i de mellemliggende år.
