Conrad of Monferrat had sent Archbishop Joscius…

November 1187 CE

Conrad of Monferrat had sent Archbishop Joscius of Tyre to the West in a black-sailed ship after the fall of Jerusalem to Saladin in October, 1187, bearing appeals for aid, including propaganda drawings of the horses of Saladin's army stabled (and urinating) in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Joscius arrives first in Sicily, where King William II promises to send a Sicilian fleet to the east; he himself will die before he can go on crusade but his fleet will help save Tripoli from Saladin's attacks.

Joscius continues on to Rome.
