November 18. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the Commune of Marseille, rewarding their devotion to himself and the Roman Church by responding favourably to their petition, read to him, which stated that, because of their assistance in the acquisition of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and Tripoli, the late King Baldwin of Jerusalem granted them donations, concessions, liberties, and immunities from any secular exactions in Acre (Accon) and Outremer, as is more fully contained in his pertinent privileges strengthened with his seal [cf. Mayer, UKJ, no. 227 and RRH 276; RRR 533]. Inclined by their entreaties, the pope confirms and strengthens them.
