text: March 23. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Patriarchs [Jacobus Pantaléon] of Jerusalem and [Opizo Fieschi] of Antioch, informing them that Philippus de Pazano, papal subdeacon and canon of Nicosia (Nicosiensis), told him in his presence that Pope I[nnocentius IV] had sent letters to Archbishop [Egidius] of Tyre (Tyrensis) and Bishop [Opizo] of Tripoli (Tripolitanus) ordering them to provide Philippus, who had already been received in the church of Nicosia, with a vacant office or rank and prebend of that church or the next one that becomes so, even if such an office or rank had the care of souls attached. The same bishop, to whom the archbishop assigned his charge in the affair before the death of Pope Innocentius, received the letter and began to proceed. Despite the fact that Pope Alexander sent a letter restoring Philippus to the position from which he had been excluded by the constitution the pope published concerning expectant canons, Philippus still has not been able to obtain any comfort by this grace. Thus the pope orders the patriarchs to proceed to provide Philippus with an office or rank and prebend in that church according to Innocent’s letter.

text: April 2. Lateran. Iohannes de Camezano, chaplain and auditor litterarum contradictarum of Pope [Alexander IV], writes to all who will see this letter, relating that for some time a lawsuit was litigated in his presence between master Raymundus de Agrimonte, the notary and agent of the rector, counsel, and commune of the city of Marseille (Massiliensis), acting for them in the Roman curia as plaintiff, on the one side, and master Albertus canon of Saint Peter Scheradius, a Florentinus, agent of the noble man Count [Iohannes] of Jaffa (Ioppensis), and Antonius de Narnia, the agent of Iohannes de Ibelino lord of Beirut (Beriti), acting for them as defendants, on the other. Eventually the agents chose their judges, with master Raymundus choosing Bishop [Florentius] of Acre (Acconensis) and master Albertus and Antonius choosing Archbishop [Ioscelinus] of Caesaria (Cesariensis), while the author chose as a middle and common judge for the parties the prior of the Friars Preacher (Dominicans) of Acre (Acconenses), to whom a papal letter was sent, which is inserted verbatim (see 11 March 1257, RRR 3192). The author testifies to the letter and strengthens it with his seal.

text: April 27. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the chancellor of the church of Toul (Tullensis), relating that Nicolaus the poor deacon called Bridous (Bridoux), former cleric of Patriarch [Jacques Pantaléon] of Jerusalem, explained before the pope that on the basis of a concession that the late Pope I[nnocentius IV] granted the patriarch, then bishop of Verdun (Virdunensis), which after that pope’s death the present pope confirmed, the bishop began the process of granting Nicolaus a benefice in the church of St Mary Magdalen of Verdun (Virdunensis), but this was left incomplete (presumably by the bishop’s promotion to patriarch). The pope orders the addressee, for the second time, to finish the procedure.

text: April 28. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Patriarch [Jacques Pantaléon of Jerusalem], papal legate, and Archbishop [Gilles de Saumur] of Tyre, relating that he has heard that some of the faithful of the Kingdom of Jerusalem have left some of their goods in their last wills solely for the construction of the walls of the cities of Jerusalem and Ascalon (Ascholona) and of certain other places in the Holy Land. Because it is not hoped at present that these cities and places will be recovered, and it is feared that with time or even the death of those who hold these bequests they will be lost, and because the Holy Land, it is asserted, is in no little danger from invasion by the Mongols (Tartari), the pope orders the addressees to have those bequests handed over to them, forcing those who hold them with ecclesiastical censure, if necessary, after a warning, appeal put aside, so that the addressees spend the money for the fortification of cities and castles and for the defence of the Holy Land as they deem expedient.

text: April 1 – 30. Acre. Florentius, bishop of Acre, and the chapter of his church. A dispute has arisen with William of Chastel Neuf (Guillelmus de Castronovo) and his convent over a house which had belonged to Philippa, late wife of Guillelmus Capenegre, located in vico balnei S. Johannis. On the east it is bounded by a certain Hospitaller curia; on the west is the public road; to the south is a house belonging to the Hospital which had belonged to the late Philippa; to the north the entrance to the Hospitaller aforementioned curia. The bishop claims it is his by virtue of a grant made by Philippa whereas the Order says it is theirs by virtue of a sale or grant by Guillelmus Capenegre. The parties have reached a composition on the basis that the bishop and his successors will receive an annual rent of 40 Saracen besants payable in two equal instalments on the kalends of January and the kalends of July. If the Hospitallers occupy the house for their own use, they will pay the bishop 10 Saracen [besants] on the dates specified. Witnesses: Adam the archdeacon, Bernardus the cantor, Johannes the treasurer, and Gerardus, canons of Acre (Acconenses).

text: May 2. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to the bishop of Beirut (Beritensis), relating that Patriarch J[acques Pantaléon] of Jerusalem, papal legate, humbly asked the pope to assist him with the expenses he went to in coming to the Apostolic See and staying there and also traveling, since he is obliged to his creditors for no small sum of money and he must go to further expense as befits the burden and honour of his rank. The pope therefore orders the master and brothers of the house of the knighthood of the Temple of Jerusalem to give and assign to the patriarch without any trouble up to 100 marks sterling from the sum of money that the late Patriarch G[erold] of Jerusalem deposited in their house at Acre. If they do not, the addressee is ordered to compel them to do so with ecclesiastical censure, after a warning, without appeal, various obstacles notwithstanding.

text: May 7. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Archbishop [Gilles] and the chapter of Tyre, relating that he wishes their church, which was founded in honour of the Holy Cross, as is claimed, to be frequented with fitting honours, so he grants an indulgence of 100 days of penance enjoined on them to all those truly penitent and who have confessed who visit the church annually on the feasts of the Holy Cross and of St John the Evangelist, in whose honour the main altar of the church was consecrated, and in the seven days that follow.
