March 15. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the Commune of Marseille (Massiliense), relating that he has great affection for them because of their past and future services. They informed him that the late Aimery (Aymericus), ninth king of Jerusalem and king of Cyprus, for their service and assistance that he and his predecessors received from Marseille in the acquisition of the kingdom of Jerusalem, with the assent of his wife the late Isabella (Ysabella), confirmed the liberties and other things that his predecessors the late kings Fulk (Fulco) and Amaury of Jerusalem (Amalricus Ierosolimitani) granted the commune, and he granted to the commune his casale called Flacie in the land of Cyprus along with its peasants and appurtenances in perpetuity, as is more fully contained in the privilege made for this. Inclined by their entreaties, the pope confirms and strengthens the confirmation and concession, inserting the privilege verbatim.
