Letard II

  • ... that Archbishop Letard II of Nazareth was one of only a few fellow bishops about whom William of Tyre had something nice to say?
  • Source: "William had positive things to say about very few of the bishops whose periods of office overlapped with his own. Archbishop Letard of Nazareth (1158-90), who by the 1180s was the longest serving bishop in the patriarchate of Jerusalem, was 'a very pleasant man, affable and kindly.'" (Edbury 94)
  • ALT1: ... that Archbishop Letard II of Nazareth complained to the pope that Muslims carrying off peasants was causing him financial difficulties? Source:
    "the archbishop and his canons claimed that the damage caused to the defence system of the kingdom had enabled Muslim troops to raid Christian territory, and that ... many of the peasants had been carried off as prisoners by the raiders, and consequently the church of Nazareth had suffered such a huge loss of revenue that the canons were experiencing difficulty in carrying out their liturgical duties. This complaint was addressed to Alexander III..." (Hamilton & Jotischky 2020, p. 118.)
  • ALT2: ... that Pope Urban III appointed a Letard to act as a judge delegate? Source: (Hamilton & Jotischky 2020, p. 119.)
