Evremar

Evremar was a priest from Thérouanne in France who in old age went east with the First Crusade. In 1102 Dagobert of Pisa was deposed as Patriarch by the papal legate, Cardinal Robert of Paris, on charges of misconduct brought by the King of Jerusalem, Baldwin I. When the legate asked for a candidate to be the new patriarch, the Palestinian bishops suggested Evremar, who was known for his piety and charity. Baldwin was happy to accept the appointment as he knew that Evremar, unlike Dagobert, would not set the claims of the church against his power as king.

In the same year Dagobert went to Rome to appeal against his deposition, and Pope Paschal II reinstated him.…
