. September 3. Anagni. Pope Innocent IV writes to the abbot of Neauphle-le-Vieux of the diocese of Rouen and the abbot of Eu [Guillaume I] of the diocese of Chartres, ordering them to allocate to Count Alphonse d’Eu, chamberlain of France, son of the late king of Jerusalem, John of Brienne (Jean de Brienne), up to six thousand livres tournois from the cash redemptions of crusade vows (if the men are old, weak, and unable to fight), legacies and various offerings to the Holy Land to be collected in the provinces of Rouen and Tours and put in safe places before being handed over to the count of his agent, especially since another similar favour was not paid him in full. This privilege is motivated by the devotion of Alphonse towards the pope and the Roman Church and the numerous debts induced by his status of crusader for two years (per biennium).
