Patriarch[]

Simeon was appointed the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem in the 1080s.^[1] Pope Urban II addressed a letter to him, urging him to acknowledge papal primacy to achieve the union of the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches.^[2] The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Nicholas III of Constantinople, warned Simeon against the accepting the Pope's offer, reminding him to the Orthodox views about Eucharist, primacy and the Nicene Creed.^[2] Simeon wrote a commentary about the use of unleavened bread in the Eucharist in the Roman Catholic Church in defence of the Orthodox practise.^[3]^[4] After the Artuqids forced him into exile, he settled in Cyprus.^[3]
