institution: Templars
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.

text: Jan. 30. Rieti. Pope Honorius III rehearses the crimes of the count of Tripoli: his seizure of Antioch and its citadel, which Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, then papal legate, had committed to the care of the Hospitallers of St John; and his seizure of the commandery [domus] of the Hospitallers of St John in Tripoli and his cruelty to the brothers there. The papal legate excommunicated him with papal authority, but he ignored the sentence and has done so for 7 years. The pope therefore orders the archbishops of Nicosia and Caesarea and the abbas of the Mt of Olives, who resides in Acre, to renew the sentence of excommunication publicly every Sunday and on Feasts and to augment the punishment by laying an interdict on all the count’s land until he makes satisfaction.

text: Aug. 4. Lateran. Writing to the prior de Giragunnis Antiochene diocesis, Magister Obertus Antiochenus canonicus and Boninus Valaniensis canonicus, Pope Honorius III recalls how he had ordered the archbishop of Apamea [Appamiensis archiepiscopus], the decanus Antiochenus and the cantor Antiochenus to provide a benefice for magister W. Iporiensis canonicus in some church overseas [in the East]. The archbishop and the cantor had approached the bishop and chapter of Tripoli, but the latter had declined, for frivolous reasons, and had appointed to the canonry G. Anglicus. Magister W. had appealed and the case had been heard by O., a papal chaplain, but in the meantime G. died. The pope orders his correspondents to compel the bishop and chapter of Tripoli to proceed with the conferment of the canonry on magister W.
