February 6. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to Bishop [Stephen of Mezel] and the chapter of Famagusta, relating that on the entreaty of B[onvassal] of Aude, chancellor of the Kingdom of Cyprus, the pope wishes to favour Nicholas, the son of Bonvassal’s brother James of Aude. Thus the pope orders the bishop and chapter to receive him as canon and brother, and to confer on him a prebend if one is vacant in their church, or the first one that becomes so. Otherwise, not wanting Nicholas to tire from long labours or expenses, the pope is sending a letter to Archbishop [Eustorge] of Nicosia to carry out the pope’s mandate.
