text: March 5. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to King Henry [I] of Cyprus, relating that he is happy that the king is abandoning the former emperor Fr[ederick II] and returning to the Church. The king’s petition that was read to the pope claimed that the king had taken an oath of fealty and homage to F[rederick], but now out of fear of the Lord he wished to separate from F[rederick], seeking refuge with the Apostolic See and asking to be absolved from the oath and taken along with his kingdom under papal protection. Since F[rederick] goes from protector of the Church to prosecutor, trying to make the Mother Church – which raised him from the cradle and exalted him over all the princes of the globe – subservient and attacking the Catholic faith, the pope deprived him of the empire, kingdoms, and every other title at the Council of Lyons, and on the advice of the prelates at the council he absolved everyone from their oaths to the former emperor. The pope therefore absolves the king of his oath and takes him and his kingdom under papal protection, declaring them subject to the pope alone. March 5. Lyons.

text: April 9. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the bishop of Tripoli, who informed him that, after he came to the Apostolic See he was unable to receive the incomes from his church in full, so he is overloaded by the burden of debts.

text: April 17. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to [Henry I], king of Cyprus and lord of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, exhorting him to spare no labour or expense in improving the status of ‘the land where Jesus Christ chose to be born, preach and die for the redemption of the human race’, which land has been struck by various calamities because of sins. The king’s efforts can compensate for this and contribute to his honour, the exaltation of the Roman Church and the salvation of the faithful. By following the pope’s advice, the monarch will earn eternal beatitude as well as perpetual praise and the spiritual support of the pope. April 17. Lyons.

text: April 17. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem and papal legate (Robert de Nantes), relating that a new religious order (religio) is said to have appeared in Outremer, which employs a cross of black leather, such that the master and brothers of the hospital of St Mary of the Teutonic Order suffer serious scandal, especially since this sign is so close to their own that those wearing it are mistaken for Teutonic knights. The Teutonic master and knights asked the pope to have the cross of the other order made so that it is seen as different from their own. The pope orders the addressee to deal with the matter as he sees fit. April 17. Lyons.

text: April 24. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to his penitentiary and legate Brother Lawrence [of Portugal], relating that the patriarch of Jerusalem and papal legate (Robert de Nantes) explained to him via petition that he has a quantity of money from bequests of the deceased, a part of which is paid to the poor and sick and the captives in Cairo (Babylon), the rest being for similar uses, but the addressee is trying to force him to repay the money on papal authority.

text: May 11. Lyons.

The addressees shall protect the friars in their cities and dioceses from harassment, revoking as void anything done against them on this pretext. May 11. Lyons.
