March 17. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the Commune of Marseille (Massiliense), relating that he has great affection for them because of their past and future services. Inclined by their entreaties, he confirms and strengthens the grant of liberties throughout the Kingdom of Jerusalem (Ierosolimitanum)and of possessions and rents in Jerusalem, Acre, and other places in the kingdom done for the commune by the late Fulk (Fulco) the third king of Jerusalem and his wife Melisende because of the assistance they received from the Commune of Marseille (Massiliense) in the acquisition of the kingdom, as is more fully contained in their privilege, which the pope inserts verbatim, despite the incongruous Latin.
