text: March 18. 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 at one time the consuls of Marseille (Massilienses) in Acre asked the late Iohannes the tenth king of Jerusalem (Ierosolimitanus) for an account concerning the liberty and the street (ruga) granted to them by the king’s predecessors, the kings of Jerusalem.
