Peter of Limoges (bishop)

Since the patriarchal electors had been unable to come to an agreement, they delegated the decision to Archbishop Clarembald of Tyre, who chose Peter.

This election, however, was quashed by Innocent III, who delegated the decision to Cardinal Soffred, who engineered his own appointment as patriarch.

In 1205, he penned a letter (addressee uncertain) announcing the death of King Aimery and lamenting the state of the kingdom of Jerusalem.

[3] In January 1213, Innocent III ordered the archdiocese of Nicosia to hold a new election and submit its candidate for approval to Peter of Limoges.

[7] In 1220, when al-Muʿaẓẓam invaded the Crusader states, Caesarea was captured and Peter co-signed a letter in October addressed to King Philip I of France appealing for assistance.

[3] In January 1222, Pope Honorius III ordered Peter to bring the non-Latin churches into obedience to his authority in his diocese.

[10] When the excommunicated Emperor Frederick II landed in Acre at the head of the Sixth Crusade in September 1228, Peter was one of those that met him.
