April 24. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to his penitentiary and legate Brother Lawrence [of Portugal], relating that the patriarch of Jerusalem and papal legate (Robert de Nantes) explained to him via petition that he has a quantity of money from bequests of the deceased, a part of which is paid to the poor and sick and the captives in Cairo (Babylon), the rest being for similar uses, but the addressee is trying to force him to repay the money on papal authority. The pope orders the addressee not to harass the patriarch concerning the restitution of this money, which the pope wants the patriarch, with the advice of the master of the Templars, to pay to the aforesaid poor and captives.
