Thomas Agni of Lentini

Thomas Agni of Lentini OP (Italian: Tommaso; c. 1200 – September 1277) was a Sicilian prelate of the Catholic Church who was successively the bishop of Bethlehem in the Kingdom of Jerusalem (1259–1267), archbishop of Cosenza in the Kingdom of Sicily (1267–1271), and Latin patriarch of Jerusalem (1271–1277). He had the powers of a papal legate during his career in the Kingdom of Jerusalem and thus acted as the highest authority there during the Mongol invasions of the Levant. He was recalled to Europe in 1263, but returned after being appointed patriarch.
