October 8. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the archbishops, bishops and other prelates of the churches in the province of Antioch, ordering them to obey Patriarch [Opizo Fieschi], who, because of his character and knowledge, has been appointed papal legate in that province with authority over the crusaders operating inside it, to act as legate unless a legate de latere is sent there. Otherwise, the Holy See will respect and carry out strictly the sentences that the patriarch will pass in case of rebellion of his clergy.
