Peter of Tire

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter of Tire († March 1, 1164 ) was Archbishop of Tire .

Prior to his appointment as Archbishop, he was Prior of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem . Its origin is unclear. William of Tire calls him “a native of Barcelona ”, this information has meanwhile been disproved. Since Wilhelm knew Peter personally, it is assumed that Peter came from Spain at least .

In 1146, the Archbishop of Tire, Fulk , resigned from office because he had been elected Patriarch of Jerusalem . A dispute arose over the choice of a successor. The candidate chosen by King Baldwin III. Preferred by Jerusalem , Queen Melisende and the royal court was Radulf, the kingdom's chancellor . The clergy rejected this because it was too worldly for them. With the power of the king Radulf was installed as archbishop of Tire in office and property. The clergy filed an appeal against the election and finally achieved that Pope Eugene III. voided election 1148. In 1148, Peter was elected Archbishop by mutual agreement. Chancellor Radulf became Bishop of Bethlehem in 1156.

In 1153 he took part in the successful siege of Askalon as the leader of a substantial contingent .

In 1155, together with the Archbishop of Caesarea and numerous suffragan bishops, he accompanied the Patriarch Fulk to Rome to complain to Pope Hadrian IV about the aspiring Hospitaller Order, who claimed numerous privileges for themselves. The trip was unsuccessful.

On June 14, 1158, he participated in a victorious battle against Nur ad-Din , in which he carried the relic of the Holy Cross .

In 1162 he was present at the coronation of Amalrich I of Jerusalem .

He died on March 1, 1164. That same month, Bishop Friedrich von Akkon was elected to succeed him as Archbishop of Tire.
