Appointments to benefices, including those made through papal and legatine provisions, have led to long lists of those awaiting prebends.

text: April 8. Naples. Pope Alexander IV writes to the archbishop of Tyre (Tyrensis) and the bishop of Lydda (Lidensis), relating that because the church of Jerusalem lacked a patriarch and a prior he has heard that it has collapsed spiritually and temporally, with few remaining in it who have the industry to direct it prosperously and govern it in a healthy way. He orders the addressees to care for the church diligently until the patriarch he has recently provided arrives or sends someone in his place, and they shall not permit its treasures, incomes, and other goods to be alienated, taken away, or dispersed.

text: April 8. Naples. Pope Alexander IV writes to the master and brothers of the Hospital of Jerusalem, relating that they had him informed that in order to defend the country and themselves from the pagan incursions they are maintaining a certain castle in the county of Tripoli (Tripolitanus) called Crac des Chevaliers (Cracum) to oppose the Saracens, with much labour, innumerable dangers, and great cost in face of the enemy. The castle is positioned almost in the midst of the perverse nation and infested with Saracens, however, so it requires great expense. Wishing to fortify it in such a way that it can be safe from attack, they propose to keep sixty horsemen there continuously for its defence. Because of the great cost, they asked the pope for relief. The pope therefore exempts them from paying tithes and first fruits on this castle and their neighbouring possessions present and future and on the possessions of the inhabitants, but they can keep what has been collected and what will be collected and use it for the maintenance of the castle. As a token of this concession, they shall pay the pope and his successors one pound of gold annually. April 8. Naples.

text: April 9. Naples. Pope Alexander IV to Bishop-elect (sic) Jacobus [Jacques Pantaléon] of Jerusalem, relating that when the church of Jerusalem was vacant, three canons of that church on their own accord set a very brief deadline for the others for the election or appointment of the future patriarch, although the advice and consent of those others should have been obtained for arranging the deadline. The others considered themselves unduly burdened by the brevity of the deadline and appealed to Cardinal-bishop [Eudes de Châteauroux] of Tusculum (Tusculanus), then papal legate in those parts. The legate cited the three by letter to appear before him before a deadline, strictly forbidding them from proceeding to the election or appointment in the meantime. The three disregarded the appeal and citation and appointed Patriarch O[pizo Fieschi] of Antioch to their church, presented the appointment to the pope, and asked the pope to accept it. After deliberating with the cardinals, the pope has not accepted the appointment. Lest such a church, so important for its connection to the Son of the eternal Father, remain without a prelate for a very long time, the pope has made the addressee, bishop of Verdun (Virdunensis), patriarch, transferring him from the church of Verdun (Virdunensis). The pope writes the usual letters on the same matter to the patriarch's suffragans, to the chapter of Jerusalem, to the clergy of Jerusalem, and to the people of the city and diocese of Jerusalem.

text: April 11. Naples. Pope Alexander IV writes to Archbishop of Tyre and the abbot of Saint Mary in the Valley of Josaphat of the Order of St Benedict residing in Acre, relating that the religion and devotion of the master and the brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem induce him to look favorably on their petitions. He was shown the petition of the master and brothers that claimed that the monastery that was once built on Mt Tabor has been destroyed in war by the enemies of the Christian name, and it is not hoped that it can be repaired by the abbot and the monks of that monastery. But because there is little doubt that the Saracens who occupy the aforesaid place of Mt Tabor are fortifying it, to the detriment of the Christian faith, they asked the pope to provide a solution. The pope notes that the master and brothers struggle ceaselessly with all their might against the enemies of the Cross, so he grants to them and their Hospital the place in which the aforesaid monastery is situated with the lands, possessions, houses, people, rights, liberties, immunities, and all appurtenances belonging in any way to that monastery, in such a way that they are free and immune from the payment of tithes and anything else, for the defense of the Holy Land and the maintenance of the poor, giving them free possession or quasi without consulting the diocesan or anyone else. Nevertheless, if within a decade there is peace or truces between Christians and Saracens, after they secure full possession, they shall be obliged to fortify the place and maintain 40 horsemen continuously there for the defense of the Christian name, and they are held to provide for the needs of the abbot and monks who survive as long as they live, unless they can be accommodated in other religious places. The pope therefore orders the addressees or one of the two to execute the above, removing anyone who might occupy those things illicitly. April 11. Naples.

text: April 11. Naples. Pope Alexander IV writes to the bishop and chapter of Acre (Acconenses), describing the abuse whereby insatiable greed has resulted in ten or more people having been accepted as canons and brothers in their church on papal or legatine authority without there being any vacant prebend. Taking into consideration the fact that their church has only eight prebends, as is asserted, and so many people expecting a prebend is scandalous, horrible, and dangerous to their souls, the pope has ordained that only the two of those expecting a prebend who have temporal priority (qui sint tempore potiores) shall remain, the one received on papal authority having preference for a prebend over the other, but if both have been received on papal authority, obtaining the prebends shall be according to the law. The pope completely annuls the receptions of the others and frees the addressees from any obligation toward them. April 11. Naples.

text: April 11. Naples. Pope Alexander IV writes to King [Alphonse X] of Castile, describing the sorry state of the Holy Land at length in emotional but vague terms, except he mentions the incursions of the Khwarazmians (Coresmini ), Turkomen (Turquemani), and Saracens (Sarraceni). The situation is extremely precarious, according to the prelates, nobles, and masters of the religious houses, unless help arrives. Thus the pope implores the king to send military assistance, for reverence of God, his salvation, and the honour of the Christian name, and to induce others to do the same, arranging with them a fitting time for this help to reach the Holy Land.

Taking into consideration the fact that each of their churches has only eight prebends, as is asserted, and so many people expecting a prebend is scandalous, horrible, and dangerous to their souls, for the peace and tranquillity of their overburdened churches, the pope has ordained that in each church only the two of those expecting a prebend who have temporal priority (qui sint tempore potiores) shall remain, the one received on papal authority having preference for a prebend over the other, but if both have been received on papal authority, obtaining the prebends shall be according to the law.
