Simeon II of Jerusalem

Simeon II or Symeon II was a Greek Orthodox patriarch of Jerusalem in the 11th century.

Simeon was appointed patriarch in the 1080s.^[1]^[2] 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.^[3] Patriarch Nicholas III of Constantinople warned Simeon against accepting the pope's offer, reminding him about the Orthodox views about the Eucharist, papal primacy and the Filioque.^[3] Simeon wrote a commentary about the use of unleavened bread in the Eucharist in the Roman Catholic Church in defence of the Orthodox practise.^[4]^[5] After the Artuqids forced him into exile, he settled in Cyprus where he died around 15 July 1099, shortly before the siege of Jerusalem ended.^[4]
