November 1-30. Lucera. Frederick II, emperor of the Romans, king of Jerusalem and Sicily, instructs his justiciars and other officials and his vassals in the Kingdom of Sicily to cooperate fully with Louis IX who is preparing to set sail for the Holy Land on 24 June 1247. He is acting in the best interests of Frederick himself and his son Conrad, king-elect of the Romans and heir to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. They should therefore allow him free access to markets to buy horses, weapons, provisions and other necessities for as long as the king is overseas.
