Fulcher of Angouleme, the newly-elected archbishop of Tyre, succeeded in going to Rome to obtain the pallium from pope Innocent II. He also asked for personal help with regard to establishing himself as an archbishop, and establishing the archbishopric of Tyre, since some of its former sees were under the control of Jerusalem and others of Antioch. Innocent told Fulcher to obey William, the patriarch of Jerusalem, till further notice. He also wrote a number of letters in this regard, all recommending Fulcher himself. He wrote to William of Jerusalem and Radulf, patriarch of Antioch, asking them to support the re-creation of the Tyrian archbishopric. He wrote to all the bishops once subordinate to Tyre, in both political jurisdictions, asking them to return allegiance to the new foundation, and again to Radulf, asking him to make this possible for the bishoprics now under Antiochene political control
