Oct. 20 1170 or 1171. Tusculum. Pope Alexander III writes to the archbishop of Nazareth and the bishops of Bethlehem, Acre and Lydda. After praising the Cluniac congregation, he describes how Theobaldus, the prior of St-Arnoul-de-Crépy-en-Valois, proposed to King Amalric the establishment of a Cluniac house in his kingdom. King Amalric agreed to the request. The pope wishes the abbey of Cluny to be given the destitute monasterium of Palmareia, irrespective of whether it is subject to papal provision or to the authority of the bishop of Tiberias.
