December 21. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the [cardinal-]bishop of Tusculum (Frascati) and papal legate (Eudes de Châteauroux), relating that the brothers of the Hospital of Jerusalem are so devoted to the business of the Holy Land that they risk not only their goods but also their persons indifferently. Wishing to grant a special favour to the prior and the brothers of the Hospital in France, therefore, since some of their men living in their jurisdiction want to redeem their crusading vows, the pope orders the addressee to have the payments collected and given to the prior and brothers to assist the Holy Land.
