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.[4]
