February 26. Naples. Pope Alexander IV writes to Archbishop [Hugo] of Nicosia (Nicosiensis), relating that he has heard that several nobles and other men from the archbishop's diocese commit fraud in paying the tithes they owe him and his church, withholding them so long that the delay causes the archbishop and his church serious damage and expense. Not wanting to tolerate this, the pope assigns to the archbishop the task of forcing them to cease with what is canonical, once they have been warned, without appeal, notwithstanding obstacles.
