| Abstract: |
Explores the multi-faceted career of Daibert, arguing that his early life as a prelate in Pisa and his later fame as a participant in the First Crusade and briefly as patriarch of Jerusalem have existed rather separately in the specialist historiography, and his image, similarly, has been subject to conflicting viewpoints. The article argues that Daibert should be seen as a product of his time, when flexibility and 'necessitas' governed decisions of the papacy, and he himself responded to the changing political situation. His fragmented career, it is further argued, meant that he was remembered a Pisa less for his piety than his political pragmatism. |
