Robert, Bishop Of Lydda And Ramla
Robert of Rouen (died before 1112) was the first bishop of Lydda and Ramla from 1099. Bishop Born in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Rouen, Robert was a Norman cleric who joined the First Crusade. The crusaders took possession of Ramla without fight on 30 June 1099, because the Muslim garrison had left it. The nearby Church of Saint George was an important shrine at Lydda and the crusaders decided to establish a Roman Catholic bishopric in the town. The crusader leaders appointed Robert as the first bishop of the new diocese. They also granted Ramla, Lydda and the nearby villages to the bishopric. Being the only Roman Catholic bishop in Palestine, Robert consecrated Daimbert of Pisa as the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem on Christmas Day in 1099.

Roman Catholic Diocese Of Lydda And Ramla

Roman Catholic Archdiocese Of Rouen
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Rouen (Latin: ''Archidioecesis Rothomagensis''; French: ''Archidiocèse de Rouen'') is an archdiocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in France. As one of the fifteen Archbishops of France, the Archbishop of Rouen's ecclesiastical province comprises the greater part of Normandy. The Archbishop of Rouen is currently Dominique Lebrun. History According to legend, developed in the 11th century, the diocese was founded by Nicasius, a disciple of St. Denis who was martyred after arriving in Normandy towards the end of the first century on a mission from Pope Clement I. Most of the episcopal lists of the Diocese of Rouen, however, omit Nicasius' name. Rouen became an archdiocese probably around 744 with the accession of Grimo. Archbishop Franco baptized Rollo of Normandy in 911, and the archbishops were involved in the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Normandy was annexed to France in 1204, and Rouen was later occupied by England fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Duchy Of Normandy
The Duchy of Normandy grew out of the 911 Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the Viking leader Rollo. The duchy was named for its inhabitants, the Normans. From 1066 until 1204, as a result of the Norman conquest of England, the dukes of Normandy were usually also kings of England, the only exceptions being Dukes Robert Curthose (1087–1106), Geoffrey Plantagenet (1144–1150) and Henry II (1150-1152), who became king of England in 1152. In 1202, Philip II of France declared Normandy forfeit to him and seized it by force of arms in 1204. It remained disputed territory until the Treaty of Paris of 1259, when the English sovereign ceded his claim except for the Channel Islands; i.e., the Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey, and their dependencies (including Sark). In the Kingdom of France, the duchy was occasionally set apart as an appanage to be ruled by a member of the royal family. After 1469, however, it was permanently united to the ...

First Crusade
The First Crusade (1096–1099) was the first of a series of religious wars, or Crusades, initiated, supported and at times directed by the Latin Church in the medieval period. The objective was the recovery of the Holy Land from Islamic rule. While Jerusalem had been under Muslim rule for hundreds of years, by the 11th century the Seljuk takeover of the region threatened local Christian populations, pilgrimages from the West, and the Byzantine Empire itself. The earliest initiative for the First Crusade began in 1095 when Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos requested military support from the Council of Piacenza in the empire's conflict with the Seljuk-led Turks. This was followed later in the year by the Council of Clermont, during which Pope Urban II supported the Byzantine request for military assistance and also urged faithful Christians to undertake an armed pilgrimage to Jerusalem. This call was met with an enthusiastic popular response across all social classes in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Palestine (region)
Palestine ( el, Παλαιστίνη, ; la, Palaestina; ar, فلسطين, , , ; he, פלשתינה, ) is a geographic region in Western Asia. It is usually considered to include Israel and the State of Palestine (i.e. West Bank and Gaza Strip), though some definitions also include part of northwestern Jordan. The first written records to attest the name of the region were those of the Twentieth dynasty of Egypt, which used the term "Peleset" in reference to the neighboring people or land. In the 8th century, Assyrian inscriptions refer to the region of "Palashtu" or "Pilistu". In the Hellenistic period, these names were carried over into Greek, appearing in the Histories of Herodotus in the more recognizable form of "Palaistine".

During the Byzantine period, the region was split into the provinces of Palaestina Prima, Palaestin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Roger, Bishop Of Lydda And Ramla
Roger was the second bishop of Lydda and Ramla from at least 1112 until 1147. Roger's origin is unknown. He succeeded his predecessor, Robert, sometime between 1103 and 1112. Whether a reference from 1108 to a bishop with the initial R refers to Robert of Roger is unknown. The historian Bernard Hamilton considers it likely that the patriarch of Jerusalem, Ghibbelin of Arles, appointed Roger, whom he describes as "a man of real ability". Lydda was a suffragan diocese of Jerusalem. At the urging of the new patriarch, Arnulf of Chocques, Roger granted properties, including the '' casale'' Sephoria, to the Abbey of Josaphat in 1115. In 1136, he granted four ''casalia'' within his diocese to the canons of the Holy Sepulchre, albeit holding back a portion of the tithes. In March 1118, Roger participated in King Baldwin I of Jerusalem's last military campaign and the king died in his arms. In 1128, Roger accompanied Archbishop William I of Tyre to Europe.
