Years: 1116 - 1116

Arnulf of Chocques, archdeacon of Jerusalem, had officially became Patriarch in 1112, although many of the other clerics distrust him and find him unnecessarily harsh.

He is especially unpopular with the Orthodox and Syrian Christians when he prohibits non-Latin masses at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

He is accused of various crimes: sexual relations with a Muslim woman, simony, and most importantly condoning the bigamous marriage of King Baldwin I to Adelaide del Vasto while his first wife Arda of Armenia was still alive.

He had been briefly deposed in 1115 by a papal legate, but had appealed to Pope Paschal II and in 1116 is reinstated, provided that he annul Baldwin and Adelaide's marriage.
