Which lines in the description of the knight from the "General Prologue" of The Canterbury Tales tells us that he had been part of the Crusades, military expeditions in which Christians sought to win the Holy Land?

Hi, I think the answer would be - " this self-name worthy knight had been also at one time with the lord of Palatye" - because Palatye was a part of Anatolia, which is where the First Crusade happened.
