1858
year: 1220
initiator: Petrus de Monteacuto, master of the Knights Templar
recipient: Bishop N. of Ely
text: Sept. 20. Acre. Frater Petrus de Monteacuto magister militum Templi informs Bishop N. of Ely [Elimensis episcopus] [322] that enough peregrini reached Egypt on the passage after the capture of Damietta and the castle of Taphneos to defend Damietta and the castles. The papal legate and the clergy wanted to launch a campaign against the infidel, but the secular leaders of the army [barones exercitus] refused, because they did not believe there were enough troops both to engage the enemy and garrison the cities and castles. Meanwhile the sultan of Egypt has fortified a camp not far from Damietta and has built bridges to obstruct any Christian advance. The Saraceni armed galeiae and in September began to obstruct the Christian lines of communications at sea. In spite of a lack of funds, which made it hard for the Christians to maintain their fleet, the Christians armed galeiae, galiones and other vessels [vasa] to resist them. Coradinus, the sultan of Damascus, knowing that the cities of Acre and Tyre were denuded of warriors and people, launched an assault and besieged and took castrum Peregrinorum, although there were many peregrini in Acre. Meanwhile Seraph, the son of Saphadinus and the brother of the sultans of Egypt and Damascus, has prevailed in warfare against eastern Saraceni, although he could not overcome all of them easily. Given the threat he poses to Antioch and Tripoli, Acre and Egypt, and the Templar castles, the dissension among the Saraceni is a comfort to the Christians. The emperor has been expected, but if he does not come during the next summer, either Syria or Egypt will be threatened. Help is desperately needed soon. Sept. 20. Acre. Frater Petrus de Monteacuto magister militum Templi informs Bishop N. of Ely [Elimensis episcopus] [322] that enough peregrini reached Egypt on the passage after the capture of Damietta and the castle of Taphneos to defend Damietta and the castles.

recipient: King Philip II of France
text: Oct. 1. Acre. P. Cesariensis archiepiscopus, H. Nazarenus archiepiscopus, R. Bethlemitanus episcopus, M. abbas Templi Domini, J. abbas Montis Sion, R. abbas Vallis Josaphath, D. abbas Montis Oliveti, A. abbas Montis Thabor and F. abbas Sancte Marie de Latina inform King Philip II of France of the poverty and desolation of the Holy Land. The Christians hold only the cities of Tyre and Acre, outside which Corradinus is cutting down trees and vines and destroying casalia and houses, so that nothing remains but a few viridaria close to the walls of Acre and Tyre. Milites, citizens [cives] and people are reduced to such misery that many are fleeing to Cyprus, [Cilician] Armenia and other countries to beg for help. The city of Tyre is deserted and only the king and his army maintains custody of it and Acre, but the expenses of this obligation are so great that he is himself reduced to poverty. The city revenues have declined to nothing, because the merchants are no longer coming with their merchandise. The pilgrim traffic has dried up. Nearly every one has gone to Damietta, but it has been poverty that has forced the king to leave the army [in Egypt] and return to Acre. All the revenues of the cities are pledged to creditors and the king cannot find any one to change his money. They appeal to the king of France for assistance. Oct. 1. Acre. P. Cesariensis archiepiscopus, H. Nazarenus archiepiscopus, R.

Privilege/exemption
1862
year: 1220
initiator: Alice, regina Cypri
recipient: Church in Cyprus
text: Oct. 1-31. Limassol. With the agreement of the barones, milites and homines of the kingdom of Cyprus, and at the request of Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, in partibus orientis et Cipri apostolice sedis legatus, of dominus Eustorgius Nicosiensis archiepiscopus, M. Paphensis episcopus, R. Nimociensis episcopus and C. Famagustanus episcopus, Alice, Dei gratia regina Cipri, mother of Henry, verus dominus et heres regni Cipri, makes a sealed grant to the church in Cyprus. She concedes to the archbishops, bishops and all their churches the tithes of all revenues in the kingdom of Cyprus and of all her barones, milites and homines, according to the customs of the kingdom of Jerusalem [secundum usum et consuetudinem regni Ierlimitani]. She also surrenders the chevagia and dimi owed to the crown by the rustici of the church. She gives freedom from the payment of chevagia or labour service [angaria] to all Greek priests and deacons, provided they make canonical obedience to the archbishop and bishops in their dioceses. She rules, however, the Greek priests and deacons must remain in the casalia and lands where they reside at present, unless they have licence to move from the archbishop and bishops. They must, as in the past, seek permission of their lords if they wish to be ordained. They cannot leave the kingdom to seek ordination elsewhere. Greek abbeys should abide by the rules of canonical election of their abbots, confirmed by the archbishop or bishop. Abbots can only be removed according to law. They, and all monks ordained as priests or deacons, must be obedient to the archbishop and bishops in their dioceses. Abbeys can hold the possessions they previously had, but no one can become a monk or conversus without his lord’s permission.
