John (bishop Of Banyas)
John was the bishop of Banias in the Kingdom of Jerusalem from 1161 until his death in 1170. John was appointed to succeed Adam of Acre, the first Latin bishop of Banias. In 1164 the Damascene ruler Nur ad-Din Zengi besieged Banias. Neither John nor the lord of Banias, Humphrey II of Toron, were present. The defense was instead commanded by Humphrey's knight, Walter of Quesnoy. On 18 October Banias fell. King Amalric and the master of the Knights Hospitaller, Bertrand of Blancfort, alleged treason. Archbishop William of Tyre names the alleged traitors as Walter of Quesnoy and a priest named Roger, who were supposedly bribed, but William is not convinced by the allegation. John was henceforth unable to reside in his diocese, and became essentially an auxiliary bishop to the archbishop of Tyre, to whom he was also a suffragan. John continued to hold the title of bishop of Banias, and there was hope among the Latins that Banias might be recovered. In 1169 the patriarch of Jerus ...

Bishop Of Banias
The diocese of Banias was an episcopal see centered on Banias in the region of Syria. It was originally an Eastern Orthodox see. In 1140 Banias was captured by King Fulk of Jerusalem. The same year Adam of Acre became the first Roman Catholic bishop to be installed in Banias. Archaeologist Denys Pringle assumes that a cathedral church was constructed in Banias, but its location has not yet been determined. The Latin bishop of Banias was a suffragan to the archbishop of Tyre. Of all the bishops in the kingdom, only the bishop of Banias, the bishop of Beirut, and the archbishop of Petra were exempt from providing sergeants to the royal army. The bishop's power declined when, in 1157, the lord of Banias, Humphrey II of Toron, granted half of Banias to the Order of the Hospital. In 1164 Banias was conquered by Nur ad-Din Zengi, becoming the first diocese in the Kingdom of Jerusalem to be lost to the Muslims. The incumbent bishop, John, was not in Banias at the time and continued to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Archbishop Of Caesarea
The archiepiscopal see of Caesarea in Palaestina, also known as Caesarea Maritima, is now a metropolitan see of the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem and also a titular see of the Catholic Church. It was one of the earliest Christian bishoprics, and was a metropolitan see at the time of the First Council of Nicaea, but was later subjected to the Patriarchate of Jerusalem. The city remained largely Christian until the Crusades, its bishop maintaining close ties to the Byzantine Empire. After the establishment of the Kingdom of Jerusalem by the crusaders, the see was transformed into a Latin archdiocese, subordinate to the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem. History The diocese was an ancient one, established in one of the first Christian communities ever created: it was due to the work of St Peter and St Paul. Records of the community are dated as far back as the 2nd century. According to the Apostolic Constitutions (7.46), the first ''Bishop of Caesarea'' was Zacchaeus the P ...

Henry I (December 1127 – March 16, 1181), known as the Liberal, was count of Champagne from 1152 to 1181. He was the eldest son of Count Theobald II of Champagne, who was also count of Blois, and his wife, Matilda of Carinthia. Biography Henry took part in the Second Crusade under the leadership of Louis VII of France. He carried a letter of recommendation from Bernard of Clairvaux addressed to Manuel I Komnenos, Byzantine Emperor; he is listed among the notables present at Council of Acre, the assembly held by Baldwin III of Jerusalem at Acre, Israel, Acre on 24 June 1148. On his father's death, Henry chose to take Champagne, leaving the family's older holdings (including Blois, Chartres, Sancerre, and Châteaudun) to his younger brothers. At the time this may have been surprising, for the other territories were richer and better developed. Henry must have foreseen the economic possibilities of Champagne, and it is during his rule that the county achieved its high place as one ...

Philip I (1143 – 1 August 1191), commonly known as Philip of Alsace, was count of Flanders from 1168 to 1191. During his rule Flanders prospered economically.

Margaret Of Navarre
Margaret of Navarre (french: Marguerite, es, Margarita, it, Margherita) (c. 1135 – 12 August 1183) was Queen of Sicily as the wife of William I (1154–1166) and the regent during the minority of her son, William II. Queen consort Margaret was the daughter of King García Ramírez of Navarre and Marguerite de l'Aigle. She was married at a young age to William I of Sicily, in 1149, the fourth son of Roger II of Sicily. According to the Palermitan archivist Isidoro La Lumia, she was, in her later years, ''bella ancora, superba, leggiera'' ("still beautiful, proud, light"). During the reign of her husband, Margaret was largely ignored by William who spent much of his time away from court - often frequenting his many personal harems. However, she is considered to have been a stronger, more apt administrator than her husband, and several times convinced him to act where he was determined to be passive. She worked closely with Maio of Bari, the king's '' ammiratus ammiratorum'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Louis VII Of France
Louis VII (1120 – 18 September 1180), called the Younger, or the Young (french: link=no, le Jeune), was King of the Franks from 1137 to 1180. He was the son and successor of King Louis VI (hence the epithet "the Young") and married Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in western Europe. The marriage temporarily extended the Capetian lands to the Pyrenees. During his march, as part of the Second Crusade in 1147, Louis stayed at the court of King Géza II of Hungary on the way to Jerusalem. During his stay in the Holy Land disagreements with his wife led to a deterioration in their marriage. She persuaded him to stay in Antioch but Louis instead wanted to fulfil his vows of pilgrimage to Jerusalem. He was later involved in the failed siege of Damascus and eventually returned to France in 1149. Louis' reign saw the founding of the University of Paris. He and his counsellor Abbot Suger, pushed for greater centralisation of the state a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
