Feb. 5. Viterbo. The domus Hospitalis Sancti Thome martiris Acconensis had been founded in Acre by an eleemosynary grant of King Richard I of England, but the king died before its house could be adequately established and the canons had been reduced to a sad state, living under the Rule of the Hospital of St Mary of Germans. Writing to the magister and brothers, Pope Gregory IX confirms the actions of the bishop of Winchester who, with the advice of the patriarch of Jerusalem and albeit illegitimately, found a better residence for the canons and reformed their way of life.
