The patriarch of Antioch has complained that Prince Bohemond [V] of Antioch has refused to receive investiture of Antioch from him or take the customary oath of fidelity to the church, which he is injuring in violation of the terms of the agreement reached with his father Prince Bohemond [IV].

Pope Gregory IX orders the archbishop of Tyre and the bishops of Acre and Tortosa [Anteradensis episcopus], to whom he also writes, to compel the prince to make satisfaction.
