text: Sept. 22? [352] Assisi? After narrating the history of the discord between the emperor Frederick and citizens of Acre, the visit of the archbishop of Ravenna, and the mediation of the patriarch of Antioch and the magister of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans, and the excommunication of the citizens imposed by the archbishop of Ravenna, Pope Gregory IX refers to the presence of negotiators on behalf of both the emperor and the citizens of Acre. He is minded to relax the sentence of excommunication and suggests to Frederick that the Holy Land be returned to the state it was in before discord arose between Ricc. Filanger. marescalcus imperatoris and the nobles and barones of the kingdom and the citizens [cives] of Acre, that the cives et sindici Acconenses obey the balivi appointed for the time being by Frederick and his son C. in the maintaining of fortifications, the collection of rents and all customary rights, saving the assises [ascisii] and ancient and approved customs [consuetudines], that they and the nobles dissolve the commune [regni communia], take down the bell and remove the consules and capitanei who had been appointed after the dispute arose, abjuring all oaths made prejudicial to Frederick and Conradus and returning to their fealty. R. marescalcus imperatoris should be restored to the honour of the office of baiulus, but a new baiulus, who is above suspicion, should be appointed by the pope himself before next 1 March. Because there is so much animosity felt towards R. marescalcus, other bauli should administer the kingdom in the interim. Because the kingdom of Cyprus remains disturbed and aid to the Holy Land is hindered, the pope asks the emperor to allow him to mediate, so that the king of Cyprus be reconciled to the emperor or truces can be established.

Writing to the magister of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans, Pope Gregory IX complains that the emperor Frederick’s representatives have refused to accept the plan to bring peace between the emperor and the people of Acre, because, contrary to the pope’s expectations, they did not have Frederick’s authority, which was not given before his campaign in northern Italy.

After a case between the patriarch of Antioch and Aimericus, the nephew of the late Gaufridus Tripolitanus episcopus, had been heard at the Holy See, Pope Gregory IX rules that Aimericus was wrongly deprived of his archdeaconry, prebend and other benefices in the church of Tripoli by the patriarch of Antioch. He orders the patriarch of Jerusalem and the archbishops of Nazareth and Caesarea to restore the benefices. If magister Hubertus canonicus et cancellarius Antiochene ecclesie is in possession of the benefice, Aimericus must be compensated.

text: Oct. 9. Anagni. Odo de Monbeliardo regni Ierosolimitani comestabulus had appealed to the Holy See. The bishop of Paphos had demanded tithes of the poll tax [capitatio] levied on the casale of Tarsis in his diocese. Odo refused on the grounds that the late electi of Nicosia and Paphos, at that time papal legates, had decreed, with the agreement of King Aimery of Cyprus, that such a tithe should not be paid in Cyprus, which would follow the practice of the patriarchate of Jerusalem in this respect. This decision was confirmed by the Apostolic See. The bishop of Paphos had threatened Odo with excommunication. Pope Gregory IX orders the bishop of Tripoli to investigate the case and make a judgement.
