Gregory VIII had meanwhile sent a legation to the emperor, who is now nearly in his mid-sixties and approaching the end of an eventful career, which has included a protracted controversy with the papacy.
Nevertheless, Frederick has made peace with the church, had participated in the Second Crusade, and for some time has been genuinely desirous of taking the cross again.
