comments: Note: These sermons were not necessarily preached in 1251 on the lst anniversary of the battle and could date to any year before Eudes’s death in 1273. For arguments that 1251 was the most likely date, see Cole, Riley-Smith and d’Avray, ‘Memorial Sermons’, p. 230.

text: . February 21. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the master and the brothers of the Hospital of Jerusalem, relating that he was told on their behalf that, although from old times there were many different seals in their order according to the diverse provinces, so that they do not change even if the preceptors or priors in those provinces change, nevertheless some are calling this into doubt because the names of the preceptors or priors of the provinces are not on the seals. Responding to their entreaties, since it seems rather difficult to make new seals every time the preceptors or priors change in the provinces, the pope establishes that the traditional seals, as long as they are the true and old seals of the provinces, should from now on have firm and undoubted faith in all their and their provinces’ court cases, contracts and business, although they do not contain the names of the preceptors or priors. .

text: . February 25. Lyons. Pope Innocent IV writes to the abbot of Belmont of the Cistercian Order in the diocese of Tripoli, to the abbot of St Samuel [in Acre] of the Premonstratensian Order, and to the cantor of Beirut, relating that, in the dispute between Bishop [William] and the chapter of Tortosa (Tartus), on the one side, and Vice-Master J[ean de Rosnay] of the Hospital of Jerusalem, on the other, over certain tithes and other things, the pope assigned the case to Cardinal-Deacon G[iovanni Gaetano Orsini] of San Nicola in Carcere as auditor. When the case had been contested in his presence, the statements had been made on the part of the bishop, the articles exhibited, and even the interrogation over them completed regarding what was stated before the auditor, he was unable to have full faith in the merits of the case, especially because the agent of the vice-master died and no one else appeared in the auditor’s presence who could take over the burden of the agency of the vice-master. The pope orders the addressees to gather in Batroun in the diocese of Tripoli or in the city of Jubayl (Byblos) or some other place as they see fit, to summon the vice-master or the master of the Hospital, and to compel him to respond to the statements mentioned to which no response has yet been given, and even to those to which a response has been made, if perhaps he is not content with those responses or he refuses to ratify them, using ecclesiastical censure if necessary, without appeal. But if the vice-master or master should wish to prove anything, he shall make statements and articles after your summons within the time you specify for this, and an interrogation of the bishop’s side over them shall be done. .

comments: Note: The king of France’s departure for Caesarea resulted in the proposals being put on hold; although the decision was implemented in the cour des bourgeois, it was not implemented in the High Court until the time of Henry II. The reference to Louis IX at Caesarea leaves no doubt that 1251 is the correct date.
