Peter of Barcelona was a 12th-century archbishop of Tyre in the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Peter was trained as an ecclesiastical administrator. He became prior of the Holy Sepulchre in 1130 when the previous prior, William of Malines, was elected Latin patriarch of Jerusalem. He held the office for 21 years, and was in the beginning significantly assisted by his predecessor, Patriarch William. During his tenure he worked hard to discover and enforce the rights of the canons of the Holy Sepulchre, contributing much to the Holy Sepulchre's financial stability.
In 1146 the archbishopric of Tyre became vacant when its archbishop, Fulcher of Angoulême, was made elected patriarch in succession to William of Malines, who had died in September 1145. Queen Melisende insisted that her chancellor, Ralph, be installed as the new archbishop, but Fulcher's preferred candidate was Peter. Fulcher and the cathedral chapter appealed to the Holy See. Pope Eugene III sided with them, and in 1151 Peter was made archbishop of Tyre.
As the second highest-ranked prelate in the kingdom, Peter regularly attended the royal court and occasionally accompanied the king on military campaigns. Historian Bernard Hamilton believes that it is due to Peter's advice to the king that Jerusalem recognized Alexander III as pope after the contested 1159 papal election. Peter also held onto his beliefs: when the imperious Patriarch Fulcher ordered the prior and canons of the Mount of Olives to walk barefoot through Jerusalem as public penance, Peter joined them and convinced his suffragans, the bishops of Banyas and Beirut, to do the same, thus expressing his disapproval of the sentence. Peter held the office for 13 years.
As prior, Peter was, in Hamilton's words, "patient and remarkably competent". He is the only archbishop of Tyre of whom the later archbishop and chronicler William of Tyre was not critical. William described him as:
... a man of remarkable innocence and gentleness of character. He feared God and abhorred evil, and his memory will be held blessed by God and by men He was a nobleman by birth, but he was even more noble in his spiritual life. Volumes could be written about his life and character.
