Naming Latin bishops to see no longer in Latin hands was common by the
14th century. The extent to which the popes thought they might be able to
install those bishops (e.fg. the Latin patriarch of Alexandria) in
their sees bears contemplating. They probably did not think of the
Levant as permanently in the hands of non-Latin Christians and/or Muslims.
