Arnulf of Lisieux [Arnoul, Lexoviensis or Luxoviensis.] (died 31 August1184) was a French bishop.

He was educated by his brother, the Bishop of Sées, and studied canon law at Rome. He wrote in defence of Pope Innocent II a violent letter against Gerard, bishop of Angoulême [Muratori, SS. RR. Ital., III, 423-432.] , a partisan of the Antipope Anacletus II (Petrus Leonis).

In 1141 he was raised to the See of Lisieux. He accompanied Louis VII on his crusade (1147), was faithful to Pope Alexander III during the schism, and encouraged his brother bishops to defend the cause of ecclesiastical liberty against Henry II of England.

He was a partisan of the king in the conflict between Henry and Thomas à Becket, and after the murder of the latter undertook the royal defence before the pope. In 1181 or perhaps a little earlier, he lost the good will of the king, and for a while that of Pope Lucius III.

He then resigned his see because of age and feebleness and retired to the Abbey of St. Victor at Paris, where he died. His writings include a collection of letters, made by himself, and some poetry [In "Patrologia Latina", CC.] .

He was the uncle of Hugh Nonant, who was Bishop of Coventry from 1085 to 1191.Spear "The Norman Empire and the Secular Clergy" "Journal of British Studies" p. 5]
