Appointed by the pope as Latin patriarch of Constantinople in 1380. Later denounced as an imposter and imprisoned, then welcomed back, then reinvestigated. Fled back to Constantinople and made confession in 1394, asking to be readmitted to the orthodox church (final decision lost). May have died shortly thereafter.
