Pope Innocent III has heard that the legitimacy of the election by the chapter of Nicosia of magister Durandus eiusdem ecclesie thesaurarius to the archbishopric has been challenged by many, including Galterus de Monte Beliardo, a parishioner. Durandus has claimed that this challenge is motivated by the animosity Galterus has for the king. The pope does not have enough evidence. He asks the patriarch of Jerusalem to judge the case. If he finds for the elect he should consecrate him and confer the pallium.Dec. 30. Lateran.

text: Mar. 15-22. Lateran. Pope Innocent records that the patriarch of Jerusalem has informed him that, after the bishop of Sidon had left the Holy Land for the Holy See, a letter had arrived from the king of Cilician Armenia offering immediate peace with the Knights Templar, humbly begging for absolution from his excommunication and asking for justice in his case and that of his nephew against the count of Tripoli. Meanwhile the count of Tripoli had argued that as he held Antioch from the emperor of Constantinople he was exempt from patriarchal jurisdiction. The pope orders the patriarch of Jerusalem to absolve the king from his excommunication, but to deny him and his nephew justice in their dispute with the count of Tripoli for the time being, because of his grave offences. As for the count of Tripoli, his argument that he is subject to the emperor of Constantinople should be dismissed as frivolous and inane.Mar. 15-22. Lateran.

Those in the Order who have been admitted to the subdiaconate, since they engaged in warfare, should be treated in the same way provided they abstain from the spilling of blood.Jul. 25. Segni.
