text: Oct. 1-31. Acre. G. patriarcha Hierosolymitanus apostolicae sedis legatus, P. Caesariensis archiepiscopus, N. Nazarenus archiepiscopus, N., Nar-bonensis archiepiscopus, P. Wintoniensis episcopus, W. Exoniensis episcopus, magister Hospitalis sancti Johannis, magister domus militiae Templi and magister Hospitalis Teutonicorum write a letter for general circulation. They stress their needs, report that the emperor has not crossed to Syria as he had promised and that on the news that the emperor was not coming 40000 returned on the ships in which they had arrived. Almost 800 of the milites who remained delivered the ultimatum that either the truces with the Muslim be broken or they would depart; The dux de Lemburgo, who had been appointed their leader by the emperor, held a council with the Hospitallers of St John, the Knights Templars and the Hospitallers of St Mary of the Germans. The debate was long between those who argued that the truce should be broken and those who said it would be perilous to do so. In the end it was decided to fortify Caesarea and Jaffa during the period before the August passage. The peregrini were called on to be prepared to advance towards Caesarea on 2 November and they enthusiastically responded.
