text: May 16. Lateran. Pope Honorius III admonishes the queen of Cyprus, her son H., his balius, the comestabulus, barones, milites and homines of Cyprus. The archbishop of Nicosia and his suffragans have petitioned the pope to ensure that the laity observe the agreement on tithes, possessions and other things that was mediated by Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, the papal legate. The pope demands that they do so, particularly as they have presented frivolous arguments. Since C. episcopus Amagustanus, who has been working on this matter at the curia for 3 years, is absent from Cyprus, the pope is writing to the bishops of Tripoli and Valania and a canon of Tripoli to ensure that the agreement is observed.

institution: Cistercian abbey of Bellimons
text: Aug. 17. Lateran. Responding to an appeal from the Cistercian abbey of Bellimons, Pope Honorius III narrates for the benefit of the archdeacon of Nicosia, the cantor of Nicosia and magister Balduinus canonicus Nicosiensis the the lengthy dispute between the abbey and Willelmus de Rivet miles Nicosiensis diocesis over the possession of the casale of Peregus, which Willelmus claimed to hold in fief [in feudum] from the queen of Cyprus. The case had been heard by the archbishop of Nicosia, with the authority of Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, the papal legate, but Willelmus claimed that since the casale was a fief it was not subject to the jurisidiction of an ecclesiastical court. Judgement was for the abbey and this was later confirmed when Willelmus persisted in refusing to recognize the court. Willelmus then seized the casale, with the queen’s support, and was excommunicated by the archbishop and the bishop of Paphos, who had been authorized to act by the papal legate. Both parties appealed to the pope, who delegated the case to the archbishop of Tyre and the bishops of Tripoli and Valenia, who were to investigate the matter and decide whether Willelmus’s appeal had been legitimate. Willelmus adopted various subterfuges to evade justice, obtaining a letter from the Holy See to the bishop of Limassol that raised doubt on the status of the case as an ecclesiastical matter, while with the death of the abbot of Bellimons the abbey needed a new procurator. Anxious not to harm the rights of either party, the pope orders the archdeacon, the cantor and magister Balduinus canonicus Nicosiensis to carry out the instruction originally issued to the archbishop of Tyre and his fellow judges.

text: Jan. 10. Lateran. The bishop of Tortosa [Anteradensis episcopus] has complained to Pope Honorius III about the behaviour of the Knights Templar. Lordship of the city of Tortosa is divided between the bishop and the Templars, but the latter, breaking the terms of division laid down a century ago, have ignored the bishop’s lordship [dominium], treating his part as their own, taking control of the city gate that belongs to the church, publicly proclaiming [bannum proclamare] that they have full rights and impeding the operation of the bishop’s meat market [becaria] and the freedom of merchants to sell his grain and wine. They have built 2 new churches in their part of the city, in which they have installed Greek priests [Greci presbyteri] in defiance of the bishop and the Holy See. They have refused to pay their dues, including tithes, to the bishopric, according to the evidence provided by their own rustici Sarraceni, and they have detained tribute paid by [the town of] Coeblum. They have denied the bishop his parochial rights at Castellum Album. The pope gravely rebukes the magister and brothers of the Knights Templar. He orders them to make satisfaction and informs them that he has ordered the archbishops of Tyre and Caesarea and the bishop of Acre to enforce his judgement.
