text: February 3. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors and other faithful whom this letter will reach, relating that the church of Bethlehem, which is special in general because of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, deserves special attention in these days now that the church and its brothers have lost much of their temporal goods to the enemies of the Christian faith. Since the church and its brothers are forced to beg for help for the expenses occasioned by the reception of paupers, visitors and pilgrims, and for the necessities of the faithful, the pope orders the addressees, when the brothers of that church arrive in their places for collecting alms, to receive them kindly and treat them honourably, allowing them to admonish the people in their churches and freely seek alms, and the addressees shall not prefer their confraternities (confratrias), which they can make on any day of the year, lest the alms for the poor of Christ thereby be lost or the works of piety be impeded. Moreover, whoever supports such a holy brotherhood as a colleague and makes an annual donation will obtain an indulgence of forty days. If for the above purpose any of the brothers come to a city or castle or area under interdict, the addressees are to have the churches opened once a year, expelling excommunicates and those interdicted by name, and have the divine offices celebrated. They are also to have this constitution announced in their parishes with their own letters. If any of the clerics of their churches wish to serve the brothers of that church for a year or two, with the license of the prelate and chapter, they shall not be impeded nor shall they lose their benefices or ecclesiastical incomes in the meantime.

text: February 22. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem and papal legate (Robert de Nantes), ordering him to restore to the bishop-elect of Bethlehem G[ottifredo dei Prefetti] or his agent the goods alienated by the bishop-elect of Paphos Giovanni Romano or two or three of the canons of Bethlehem, when Giovanni was claiming to be bishop-elect of Bethlehem, no matter who is found to have those goods, whether religious of any order or secular, which alienations the pope has declared null and void, notwithstanding privileges and indulgences of the Apostolic See.

text: February 22. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV orders the patriarch of Jerusalem and papal legate (Robert de Nantes) and the archbishop of Nazareth (Henry, formerly bishop of Paphos) to see to it that the agent and nuncio of his relative Niccolò [Lercari] – papal chamberlain and provost of the church of Genoa – as cantor of the church of Tripoli is put into corporal possession of the chantry, prebend and houses that the bishop-elect of Bethlehem G[ottifredo] dei Prefetti possessed previously in the church of Tripoli with some secondary rights (extrinseca et intrinseca ac alia que minuta dicuntur), which the pope conferred on Niccolò with his ring, and to have their incomes and revenues paid to the agent and nuncio without any reduction, minus the daily distributions.

text: February 27. Foggia. Frederick, Dei gratia Romanorum imperator, semper Augustus, Jerusalem et Sicilie rex, transmits to Earl Richard of Cornwall what he has heard from the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans: the distress of the Holy Land; the invasion of the Khwarazmians and the disaster at La Forbie, leading to the loss of all the convent of the Knights Templar – 300 brothers – together with 200 brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem and all the brothers of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans. The only men to escape from the battle were the patriarch of Jerusalem, the dominus de Monteforti, who was regni vexillifer, and 4 milites and servientes of the Knights Templar, 19 brothers of the Hospital of St John and 3 servientes of the Hospital of St Mary. The bishop (episcopus) de Sancto Georgio (Ramla / Lydda), the lord of Haifa (dominus de Cayfa) and G. count of Jaffa (comes Joppensis) were killed. The archbishop of Tyre was wounded and imprisoned. Frederick blames the pride of the Knights Templar, who allowed the emissaries of the sultan of Damascus to engage in Muslim prayer while staying with them, and the barones of the kingdom. They entered into an alliance with the sultans of Damascus and Crac (Kerak) against the Egyptians, against the advice of Frederick himself, the Hospital of St John and the Hospital of St Mary. Frederick describes the treachery of the Muslim allies. He puts the danger to the Holy Land in the context of threats to Christianity coming from every direction and calls for assistance. Frederick also describes his long-time support for the cause of the Crusader States and the damage caused in this respect by the conflict with the papacy February 27. Foggia.

text: March 5. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the king and people of the Mongols (Tartari), explaining the basics of Christianity and the pope's role as successor of the one who received the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven as Christ's vicar. It is the pope's office to care for the addressees' and all others' souls, but because he cannot be everywhere, and he does not want to be negligent by his absence, the pope sends wise men in his stead. Thus he is sending to the addressees Brother Lawrence of Portugal (Laurentius de Portugallia) and his associates of the Order of Friars Minor (Franciscans), the bearers of the present letter, decent men who know Holy Scripture, to inform the addressees about God's Son Jesus Christ so that they worship His glorious name in observing the Christian faith. He urges the addressees to receive the friars kindly and treat them honourably out of reverence for God, discussing with them the above and providing them safe conduct in coming and going and other necessities so that they can return safely to the pope's presence. The pope closes by stressing that he has chosen these friars because they have proven themselves in their religious life and their knowledge of Scripture and will be more useful for the addressees. If he had thought that prelates or more powerful men would be better for the task, he would have sent them instead. March 5. Lyons.

text: March 13. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes [to the king and people of the Mongols (Tartari)], relating that since not only humans but also irrational animals and the elements are joined in union after the example of the celestial spirits, all of which God the Maker has arranged in a perpetual, peaceful, and stable order, the pope has reason to wonder greatly that the addressees, as he has heard, have invaded many regions of the Christians and others, laid horrible waste to them, do not cease to extend their depopulating hands in continued fury, and, dissolving the chains of natural kinship, considering neither sex nor age, rage with their sword against all without distinction. The pope desires that all live in the unity of peace under the fear of God, so he warns and urges the addressees to stop these attacks, especially the persecution of Christians, and to make fitting satisfaction to placate the anger of divine majesty at so many and such great offenses, which anger they have without doubt seriously provoked. Nor must they rage more widely simply because omnipotent God has thus far permitted them to use their sword against other nations, who became so arrogant that when they refused to humble themselves. He did not hesitate to punish their iniquity in time and yet in the future He will do so more severely. And behold brother J [Johannes of Plano Carpini] and his associates, the bearers of this letter, etc., as in the letter of March 5, RRR 2491. March 13. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes [to the king and people of the Mongols (Tartari)], relating that since not only humans but also irrational animals and the elements are joined in union after the example of the celestial spirits, all of which God the Maker has arranged in a perpetual,... more

text: March 13. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to Archbishop [Eustorge] of Nicosia, relating that the archbishop asked to be able to wear the pallium outside his province, although it had been conceded to him for use inside his church, because in conducting his church’s affairs, working for the aid of the Holy Land, or consecrating a suffragan – as there are rarely enough bishops in his province to assist him – it is often necessary for him to go outside his province. The pope grants him the right to wear the pallium in the aforesaid cases if for those reasons and for consecrating his suffragans or ordaining clerics he has to go to a different church, as long as he to whom the church belongs permits it.
