French crusaders, supported by the Republic of Venice , established the Latin Empire and expelled the Orthodox Patriarch from Constantinople .

After the reconquest of the city by Michael VIII. Palaiologos and the end of the Latin Empire in 1261, the patriarchy only existed in terms of title, i.e. without territorial jurisdiction . On February 8, 1314, Pope Clement V united the patriarchal office with that of the Bishop of Negroponte .

In the wake of the Union of Florence , under Gregor Melissenus, the Crusader Patriarchate was legally united with the Greek Patriarchate, whose branch united with Rome, however, from Pietro Riario onwards was regularly occupied by Latin prelates in order to guarantee the Roman Catholic Church's claim to this traditional patriarchal seat of the East to maintain.
