text: Jan. 11. In castro Crati. The canons of the church of Valenia record that on the death of the bishop they canonically elected as bishop dominus Eustachius archydiaconus Berytensis, following the advice of dominus O. archiepiscopus Apamiensis. On their behalf, dominus B. episcopus Antaradensis, and dominus Willelmus canonicus Valenie, informed frater Garinus de Monte Acuto magister Hospitalis of this election at Coebium [al-Khawabi, which was under siege], maintaining that this presentation should not prejudice the church of Valenia in future, until the pope had recognized that the right of presentation after an election belonged to the magister of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. The magister was openly displeased, saying: ‘Whoever names Rome ought to claim his right through Rome’. He said that he would take advice and reply to the messengers, but he could not reply because on the same day there was an incursion by the Turci and the siege of the castle was raised. The canons brought the bishop-elect to Valenia, but, recognizing that the magister and brothers were displeased, sought advice from the patriarch and the archbishop, who ordered them not to offend the Hospital of St John and to preserve its rights, which were the same as those enjoyed by the prince of Antioch and the king of Jerusalem with respect to their cathedral churches. The patriarch appointed dominus episcopus Antaradensis to be his representative in negotiating peace. The canons went with the bishop and the bishop-elect to Cratum and presented the lord elect to the magister, asking him to assent to the election. They conceded that the magister Hospitalis frater Garinus de Monte Acuto and his successors should have the same right of presentation and assent in the church of Valenia as had the prince of Antioch and the king of Jerusalem in their cathedral churches. B. Antaradensis episcopus, acting as the representative of the lord patriarch, and the canons of Valenia have sealed this record. Witnesses: dominus Jobertus Antadardensis thesaurarius; dominus Jacobus cappellanus domini episcopi Antaradensis; dominus Manasserius; Hernesius; dominus Willelmus Seleman; dominus Fulco Gerbaut; dominus Joannes Berton.

text: Aug. 22. Narni. Pope Honorius III recalls for the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Caesarea and Nazareth Pope Innocent III’s judgement in relation to Tyre, where the Venetians and their vicarii had been exceeding their rights and extending their parochial demands over all living in their third of the city. Innocent had subjected the Venetian church in Tyre to the archbishop, but Patriarch A. of Jerusalem, the papal legate, had died before putting this into effect. The Venetians had tried to claim that the court of appeal in this instance was the patriarchate of Jerusalem, not the papacy. The pope had asked the patriarch, the archbishop of Caesarea and the abbot of Mt Tabor to enforce the judgement, but with Innocent’s death and the abbot’s replacement, Pope Honorius adds the archbishop of Nazareth to the judge delegates who are ordered to enforce the judgement.

Pope Honorius III informs the bishop and chapter of Limassol that magister W. clericus, who is a favourite of King Hugh of Cyprus, has asked that they admit him to a benefice, called assise, which is worth less than a prebend, in their church. Since it will cost little or nothing and could be a benefit, the pope asks them to admit magister W. as a canon, but he has also ordered the patriarch of Jerusalem and the bishop and cantor of Acre to investigate whether there could be any reasonable objection to this.
