January 27. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the master and brothers of the knighthood of the Temple of Jerusalem, answering their prayers by granting that they can receive money from the redemption of crusading vows from their men who have taken the cross (ab hominibus vestris crucesignatis) but who because of age or illness or other just causes cannot carry out personally the vow that they took in support of the Holy Land, once they have been absolved from this vow by those to whom the pope is committing their absolution and commutation.
