October 26. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the provost and chapter of Genoa, relating that, since he recently named the papal chamberlain N[iccolò Lercari], master of schools of the church of Genoa, as pastor (archbishop) of the church of Tyre, he orders the addressees to receive as canon and brother in Genoa N[iccolò Lercari]’s nephew Niccolò canon of Reims or his agent, assigning to him a prebend as soon as possible, notwithstanding various obstacles, including the fact that Niccolò is otherwise beneficed. The execution of the papal provision is entrusted to the provost of San Pietro della Porta in the diocese of Genoa with the faculty of using ecclesiastical censure if needed.
