recipient: King Leon I of Cilician Armenia
text: Feb. 28. Lateran. Pope Innocent III reprimands the king of Cilician Armenia for his excesses in the principality of Antioch, his violation of treaties and his promises. The pope has heard from the patriarch of Antioch and many others that the king had broken his written commitment to a truce, had sent his nephew Raymond Rupen with a large army into the territory of Antioch, had ravaged and burnt casalia belonging to the churches and carried off loot amounting to more than 100000 besants. Leon had received a man who had been deposed as patriarch of Antioch. He had replaced the archbishop-elect of Tarsus [Tarsensis] with a Greek, expelled the Latins and divided the church’s possessions among his milites. Innocent warns the king that he has ordered the patriarch of Jerusalem, his suffragans and the bishops of Cyprus to enforce the excommunication of the king, his nephew and his supporters until satisfaction is made. He has forbidden the kings of Jerusalem and Cyprus, the Knights Templar, the Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem and any peregrini in the province of Jerusalem to have any relations with those who have been excommunicated.

initiator: Pope Innocent III
recipient: Patriarch of Jerusalem
institution: Templars
text: Mar. 15-22. Lateran. Pope Innocent records that the patriarch of Jerusalem has informed him that, after the bishop of Sidon had left the Holy Land for the Holy See, a letter had arrived from the king of Cilician Armenia offering immediate peace with the Knights Templar, humbly begging for absolution from his excommunication and asking for justice in his case and that of his nephew against the count of Tripoli. Meanwhile the count of Tripoli had argued that as he held Antioch from the emperor of Constantinople he was exempt from patriarchal jurisdiction. The pope orders the patriarch of Jerusalem to absolve the king from his excommunication, but to deny him and his nephew justice in their dispute with the count of Tripoli for the time being, because of his grave offences. As for the count of Tripoli, his argument that he is subject to the emperor of Constantinople should be dismissed as frivolous and inane.

institution: Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem
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.

[300] Frater Gaufridus thesaurarius domus Templi reports to Pope Innocent III that he delivered the pope’s letters on the matter of [the marriage of] dominus Erardus and domina Philippa to the late Patriarch Albert of Jerusalem and the archbishop of Tyre. The patriarch and the archbishop summoned Erardus and forbade him in the pope’s name to contract marriage under pain of excommunication. They also interviewed Philippa in the palatium of the king and issued the same prohibition. But shortly afterwards Erardus and Philippa married secretly, in defiance of the papal mandate. [301]
