Description
Blessed Albert, Patriarch of Jerusalem, is the subject of this 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia entry. His birth date is uncertain, and he died in 1215. Born in the diocese of Parma, he became a canon regular at Mortara, served briefly as Bishop of Bobbio, and was translated to Vercelli about 1184.
Asked by both pope and emperor to judge their dispute, he was rewarded as Prince of the Empire. When Jerusalem's patriarchate fell vacant while Latins held the city, Albert was implored to take it. He was murdered during a procession in Palestine, ending a career spent mediating between popes, emperors, and crusader kings.
