text: Mar. 5. Lateran. Pope Innocent III writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem, the papal legate. He approves the election by the canons of the church of Antioch and the translation to the patriarchate of Antioch of the bishop of Ivrea that resulted from the patriarch of Jerusalem’s mediation. He wishes the patriarch of Jerusalem to confer on the new patriarch the insignia of his office as soon as possible and he expects the two patriarchs to work together in the interests of the Holy Land. Turning to the conflict between the king of Armenia, the Knights Templar and the count of Tripoli, he orders the patriarch of Jerusalem to work for reconciliation and to insist on the observance of truces, given the danger to the Holy Land, while persuading the king to restore the Templar properties. With the ending of the dispute between Duke Philip of Swabia and Otto [of Brunswick], who has gained the [western] empire, he hopes assistance will come. Meanwhile he is sending a large sum of money, to be spent on the needs of the Holy Land by the patriarch, the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers of St John.Mar. 5. Lateran.

text: May 18. Lateran. Pope Innocent III reminds the papal legate, the patriarch of Jerusalem, that he had already ordered him to judge in the dispute between the king of Cilician Armenia and the Knights Templar over the castle of Gaston and other issues. The Templars were prepared to submit to judgement, but the king had refused to accept their approach and had occupied by force their property in portus Bonellus and in other places in Armenia, which provided them with much of their sustenance, installing guards [custodes] in their houses. The patriarch had ordered the king to withdraw his guards and had excommunicated him, warning the inhabitants of, and pilgrims to, the Latin East to do nothing to assist him. The king then seized all the Templar possessions in Cilician Armenia, except for 2 castles which he could not occupy, and destroyed Templar casalia in the principality of Antioch to deprive their castles of provisions. Knights Templar and their companions had been wounded and killed. Innocent is writing to the patriarch of Antioch, the archbishop of Tyre and the bishops of Sidon, Tripoli, Tortosa [Anteradensis], Limassol and Famagusta, and King John of Jerusalem, confirming the excommunication of the king of Cilician Armenia and ordering them to publicize it.May 18.
