The crusades changed the world view of many Europeans, and gave them new insights into science and geography.

But considering that the system of feudalism lasted until long after the crusades ended, I doubt we could say they contributed to the end of feudalism to anywhere near as much as the rise of mercantilism, the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, the Reconquista, the growth of cities, the opening of universities, the Great Schism, or a number of other things.

well, the crusades didnt really end the feudal age. simply, the seljic Turks took over the holy land and closed pilgrimiges that Jews, christians, and Muslims used. they wanted the holy land back so they started fighting. but this was near the byzantine empire and so the byzantine emperor called Pope urban the second and asked for help. since the church was the most powerful thing at the time, the pope thoght this was a good advantage to get some more money and power. the pope wanted power and prestige. so they came and started fighting. eventually the Muslims won but the seljic Turks were Muslim too so it was back where it started and the pilgrimages were opened again. some results of the crusades are:

-boats coming back from the holy land had riches that they had never seen before so trading happend.

-the middle class developed

-they brought mathmatics, medicine and technology wihch made them better explorers.
