==Background== In July 1187, the [[Kingdom of Jerusalem]]'s army was defeated by Saladin at the [[Battle of Hattin]]; in October, Saladin [[Siege of Jerusalem (1187)|captured Jerusalem]] itself.<ref name=Jones_2013>{{Cite book | last=Jones | first=Dan | title=The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England | publisher=Viking; edition (April 18, ) | year=2013 |edition=revised | isbn=978-0-670-02665-4 }}</ref>{{rp|99}} When news of the city's capture reached [[Europe]] by the end of the year, a new [[crusade]] was promulgated. In January 1188, [[Henry II of England]] and [[Philip II of France]] discussed the crusade at [[Le Mans]], with [[Joscius, Archbishop of Tyre]] in attendance; on February 11, Henry began to organize the preaching of the crusade in England at [[Geddington]]. There he also discussed the "Saladin tithe."
