initiator: Pope Honorius III
recipient: Cistercian abbey of Bellimons; Willelmus de Rivet miles Nicosiensis diocesis
institution: Cistercian abbey of Bellimons
text: Aug. 17. Lateran. Responding to an appeal from the Cistercian abbey of Bellimons, Pope Honorius III narrates for the benefit of the archdeacon of Nicosia, the cantor of Nicosia and magister Balduinus canonicus Nicosiensis the the lengthy dispute between the abbey and Willelmus de Rivet miles Nicosiensis diocesis over the possession of the casale of Peregus, which Willelmus claimed to hold in fief [in feudum] from the queen of Cyprus. The case had been heard by the archbishop of Nicosia, with the authority of Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, the papal legate, but Willelmus claimed that since the casale was a fief it was not subject to the jurisidiction of an ecclesiastical court. Judgement was for the abbey and this was later confirmed when Willelmus persisted in refusing to recognize the court. Willelmus then seized the casale, with the queen’s support, and was excommunicated by the archbishop and the bishop of Paphos, who had been authorized to act by the papal legate. Both parties appealed to the pope, who delegated the case to the archbishop of Tyre and the bishops of Tripoli and Valenia, who were to investigate the matter and decide whether Willelmus’s appeal had been legitimate. Willelmus adopted various subterfuges to evade justice, obtaining a letter from the Holy See to the bishop of Limassol that raised doubt on the status of the case as an ecclesiastical matter, while with the death of the abbot of Bellimons the abbey needed a new procurator. Anxious not to harm the rights of either party, the pope orders the archdeacon, the cantor and magister Balduinus canonicus Nicosiensis to carry out the instruction originally issued to the archbishop of Tyre and his fellow judges.
