The Earl of Leicester was used to being the king’s chief advisor until The Doctor came along. He suspected it was The Doctor’s influence that made him choose to make peace with Saladin instead of fighting to liberate Jerusalem from the influence of Islam. He sets out to prove that The Doctor is in league with Saladin and to blacken him in the eyes of the King. This he succeeds in doing eventually, but by then The Doctor and friends have escaped to the TARDIS.
