initiator: Pope Paschal II
recipient: clergy and people of Jerusalem and King Baldwin I
text: Dec. 4. Lateran. Pope Paschal II writes to the clergy and people of Jerusalem, and King Baldwin I. The Church of Jerusalem was scandalized first because of Daibert and then because of Evremar. Paschal sent Cardinal Robert [of Sant’ Eusebio] to the East, who at a synod in Jerusalem [in 1102] deposed Daibert. Robert supported the election to the patriarchate of Evremar, but Daibert was restored to the patriarchate by the papacy and Evremar was promised the next vacant bishopric. After Daibert’s death a dispute has arisen between Evremar, who claims to have been legitimately elected to the patriarchate, and Arnulfus [of Chocques], the archdeacon of the church of Jerusalem. Paschal is sending another legate [Gibelin of Arles] to settle the case.
