Warmund, also Garmond, Gormond, Germond, Guarmond, or Waremond, was Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from 1118 to his death at Sidon in 1128. He was from Picquigny in Picardy.
In 1120, with Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem, he convened the Council of Nablus. The canons of the council served as a sort of concordat between the church of Outremer and the Crusader States. The first canon is a promise by Baldwin to surrender the appropriate tithes to the patriarch, namely those from his own royal estates in Jerusalem, Nablus, and Acre. In the second canon, Baldwin requests forgiveness for the tithes he had previously withheld, and Warmund absolves him in the third.
In 1123, he negotiated an alliance between Jerusalem and the Republic of Venice. This was finalised in the treaty which bears his name: the Pactum Warmundi (from his Latin name Warmundus).[1]
In 1124, he was appointed supreme commander of the Crusader forces besieging Tyre, as he was felt to possess greater authority than any alternative as commander. He was a faithful friend of King Baldwin.[2]
