text: January 23. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the patriarch of Antioch [Opizo Fieschi], ordering him to see to the reception of Roberto da Correggio, a canon of Parma who is dear to the pope, in a cathedral church of Outremer as canon and brother, providing him with a prebend if one is vacant or as soon as he can, various obstacles notwithstanding, including the fact that Roberto has other posts (personatus) and ecclesiastical benefices. It is suggested that Roberto is a noble, honest and literate man, whose merits have made him worthy of the grace of the Apostolic See. January 23. Lyons.

text: February 6. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to Bishop [Stephen of Mezel] and the chapter of Famagusta, relating that on the entreaty of B[onvassal] of Aude, chancellor of the Kingdom of Cyprus, the pope wishes to favour Nicholas, the son of Bonvassal’s brother James of Aude. Thus the pope orders the bishop and chapter to receive him as canon and brother, and to confer on him a prebend if one is vacant in their church, or the first one that becomes so. Otherwise, not wanting Nicholas to tire from long labours or expenses, the pope is sending a letter to Archbishop [Eustorge] of Nicosia to carry out the pope’s mandate. February 6. Lyons.

text: February 7. Samarkand (Saurequant). Smbat, Constable of Armenia, informs Henry I, king of Cyprus, Emeline (Stephanie) Henry’s wife and Smbat’s sister, John of Ibelin, and Maria, John’s wife and Smbat’s sister, about his impressions from his journey through Mongol territory. He saw many cities ruined by the Mongols, as well as remains of people slain by them. The Mongols are very numerous. He refers to the death of the previous khan (Ögödei) five years earlier (actually in 1241) and because the Mongols were dispersed (in India, Cathay (Chata), Russia, Kāshghar (Chascat) and Tangut (Tanghat)) that have only just enthroned his successor (Güyüg). The Khan and his people have become Christian, and there is a strong belief in these regions in the three Magi. He saw many churches destroyed by the Turks, and speaks of a Christian king in the land of India, aided by the Mongols. He says that the pope had sent an envoy to the Khan to find out whether or not he was Christian, why he had sent his people to tread the world and why he had poor people killed. The Khan is said to have replied that God commanded his ancestors and him to send their people to kill bad people and that if the pope wanted to know whether or not he was Christian, he should come and see for himself.

text: February 24. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to all the barons, knights, nobles, crusaders and all Christians in Outremer about the crusading (in exercitu […] crucesignatorum) project of King [Louis IX] of France. The pope recalls the difficulties encountered by the Christians to liberate the Holy Land, which represents ‘a stairway to the heavenly kingdom’. Today, the project may succeed with the help of God and the involvement of the king of France, who has taken the cross and combines many physical and moral virtues. The pope also conferred on the [cardinal-]bishop of Tusculum (Frascati) [Eudes de Châteauroux] the sign of the cross and the office of papal legate just as Jethro [blessed Moses before his departure from Madian]. The authority of the legate extends to the army of the crusaders and all the provinces and Christian lands in Outremer, with the power to root up, destroy, pull down, waste, build up and plant (Jeremiah 1:10). Thus the pope orders the addressees to treat the legate honourably and to execute his orders obediently. Otherwise, the pope will respect and enforce the sentences that the legate promulgates against rebels. February 24. Lyons.
