May 6. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the papal legate Cardinal-Deacon O[ttaviano Ubaldini] da Santa Maria in Via Lata, responding to the prayers of the doge and popolo of Venice, whom he praises, by ordering the addressee to receive as the right and property of St Peter the churches of St Mark of Tyre and of St Mark of Acre, which belong to the church of St Mark of Venice, firmly forbidding anyone from presuming to exercise jurisdiction over them without papal mandate, establishing that as a token of this freedom the ‘primicerius’ (primicherius) and chapter of St Mark of Venice shall pay to the Apostolic See a certain sum annually on a fixed date in the name of the churches of St Mark of Tyre and of St Mark of Acre.
