Archbishopric of Nazareth
- Archbishopric of Nazareth
The Archbishop of Nazareth was one of the major suffragans of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem during the crusades.
The ancient diocese was located at Scythopolis, known as Bethsan to the crusaders. It was the metropolis of Palaestina Secunda. After Nazareth was captured following the First Crusade, the Greek Orthodox diocese was moved there. and a Roman Catholic archdiocese was established. Among its suffragans were the bishop of Tiberias and the abbot of Mount Tabor. The Catholic archdiocese lasted until Saladin's conquest of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1187, after which it became titular; see under archbishop of Trani. The Greek Orthodox then returned.
