Arnulf of Lisieux〔Arnoul, Lexoviensis or Luxoviensis.〕 (1104/1109〔 – 31 August 1184) was a medieval French bishop〔(''Catholic Encyclopedia'': Arnulf of Lisieux ); (''New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge'' )〕 who figured prominently as a conservative figure during the Renaissance of the 12th century, built the Cathedral of Lisieux, which introduced Gothic architecture to Normandy, and implemented the reforms of Bernard of Clairvaux. He was born in Normandy, the second son of Hardouin de Neuville,〔''DNB'': ("Arnulf of Lisieux" ).〕 and having been educated there by his elder brother, Jean, Bishop of Sées, studied canon law at Rome. He made his mark writing in defence of Pope Innocent II a violent letter against Gerard, bishop of Angoulême,〔The "calumnious and antisemitic" (''Oxford DNB'') ''Invectiva in Girardum Engolismensem episcopum'' Muratori, Ludovico Antonio, ''Rerum italicarum Scriptores ab anno æræ christianæ 500 ad annum'', vol. III:423–432.〕 a partisan of the Antipope Anacletus II (Petrus Leonis). He went to England to serve in the court of Stephen during The Anarchy.〔 In 1141 he was raised to the See of Lisieux. He accompanied Louis VII on his crusade (1147), was faithful to Pope Alexander III at the Synod of Tours (1163) during the schism,〔See Papal election, 1159.〕 and encouraged his brother bishops to defend the cause of ecclesiastical liberty against Henry II of England. He was an early partisan of Henry in his struggles as Duke of Normandy to become king of England and took the king's side in the conflict between Henry and Thomas Becket, but in attempting to mediate between king and archbishop〔Baker, Derek, "Arnulf of Lisieux advises Becket EHD II'' in Boydell and Brewer, ''England in the Early Middle Ages'', 1955:195ff.〕 he alienated both sides; after Becket's murder Arnulf undertook the royal defence before the pope.〔The cultural context and Arnulf's conflicts are explored by Carolyn P. Schriber,''The Dilemma of Arnulf of Lisieux: New Ideas Versus Old Ideals'' (Indiana University) 1990.〕 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, claiming age and feebleness, and retired to the Abbey of St. Victor, Paris, where he died. His writings include a collection of letters, collated by himself, which survive in 19 manuscripts, and some poetry.〔In ''Patrologia Latina'', CCI:1–200; the first English translation of the letters is by Carolyn Shriber, ''The Letter-Collections of Arnulf of Lisieux'' (Mellen Press), 1997.〕 He was the uncle of Hugh Nonant, who was Bishop of Coventry from 1185 to 1198.〔Spear "The Norman Empire and the Secular Clergy" ''Journal of British Studies'' p. 5〕 ==References== *Potthast, August, ''Bibliotheca historica medii aevi'', 2d ed., vol.
