January 21. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to Archbishop [Eustorge] of Nicosia and the bishop of Limassol, relating that he was told on their behalf that several prelates, clerics and laypeople of the Kingdom of Jerusalem are taking refuge with them because of the devastation, on account of which the addressees must assist them and bear a heavy burden. Because of this and the dangers of travel due to the weakness of the faithful and the strength of the Saracens and other infidels, who now prevail on land and sea in those parts, the pope grants that they may not be summoned outside Cyprus. Valid for two years.
