text: Jan. 9 Rome. St Peter’s. Pope Innocent III writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem, the papal legate, concerning a case being heard in Rome, involving magister Iohannes and P. the emissary of the patriarch of Antioch, who had protested over the actions in Syria of the papal legate Cardinal Peter of St Marcellus. On hearing that the archdeaconry of Antioch had been vacant for more than 6 months, Cardinal Peter had ruled that provision had devolved on the Holy See and had granted the archdeaconry to magister Iohannes. The patriarch had responded that he had already offered the office to his nephew and refused to carry out the instructions of the cardinal, who was now in Tortosa [Antaradus]. Cardinal Peter, asserting that the nephew was anyway under age, confirmed his own decision and appointed the prior Bellimontis and magister Milo to instal magister Joannes in the choir and chapter and confim him in his benefices. And, knowing that other canonries were vacant, he had assigned 2 to the clerics Rog[er]ius and Barth[olome]us. The dispute came to involve the bishops of Tripoli and Tortosa [Antaradensis], Marinus Nicociensis archidiaconus and the bishop of Valenia [Valaciensis episcopus] and the journey of W. quondam archidiaconus Antiochenus and the 2 canons to Rome. It culminated in appeals to the Holy See. The patriarch himself pointed to the damage his church had suffered from the prince and citizens of Antioch. He asserted, moreover, that the new archdeacon was uncanonically appointed, because he had been a monk of the abbey of the Holy Spirit at Palermo. Stressing papal rights of provision the pope orders the patriarch of Jerusalem to settle the case.

text: May 18. Lateran. Pope Innocent III reminds the papal legate, the patriarch of Jerusalem, that he had already ordered him to judge in the dispute between the king of Cilician Armenia and the Knights Templar over the castle of Gaston and other issues. The Templars were prepared to submit to judgement, but the king had refused to accept their approach and had occupied by force their property in portus Bonellus and in other places in Armenia, which provided them with much of their sustenance, installing guards [custodes] in their houses. The patriarch had ordered the king to withdraw his guards and had excommunicated him, warning the inhabitants of, and pilgrims to, the Latin East to do nothing to assist him. The king then seized all the Templar possessions in Cilician Armenia, except for 2 castles which he could not occupy, and destroyed Templar casalia in the principality of Antioch to deprive their castles of provisions. Knights Templar and their companions had been wounded and killed. Innocent is writing to the patriarch of Antioch, the archbishop of Tyre and the bishops of Sidon, Tripoli, Tortosa [Anteradensis], Limassol and Famagusta, and King John of Jerusalem, confirming the excommunication of the king of Cilician Armenia and ordering them to publicize it.
