This line explicitly tells us that the knight has been in the Crusades since Palatye, which was mentioned in that line, was a part of Anatolia. It was in this place where the First Crusade began. In 1095, Pope Urban II spearheaded the conquest to recover the lost lands in Anatolia. This Crusade lasted until 1099.
