text: . January 30. Perugia. Pope Innocent IV writes to the master and brothers of the knighthood of the Temple of Jerusalem, relating that he has learned that their house is overwhelmed by debt, and because their revenues and incomes are much reduced by the malice of the time and hardly sufficient, they cannot escape the usurious hole on their own. Thus they ask for a remedy lest their house collapse, to the grave danger of the Holy Land. The pope grants that they can receive up to ten thousand silver marks anywhere except the Kingdom of Germany from the redemption of crusading vows, payments by usurers and others with ill-gotten gains who wish to redeem their souls before dying but cannot make restitution, and general legacies to the Holy Land, such that those who give them this money are not otherwise obliged to make restitution or satisfaction. .

Pope Innocent IV writes to the patriarch of Jerusalem (Robert de Nantes) and the bishop of Lydda, relating that he was informed on behalf of Brother Hugues de Nissun, relative of the late master of the Temple G[uillaume], that when at one time the pope ordered the patriarch to confer on him the episcopacy of Sebaste, in the province of Caesarea, which under Saracen occupation for more than 20 years was said to have been vacant for a long time, the patriarch did not proceed because the [arch]bishop of Caesarea had de facto appointed the absent dean of Caesarea to the see of Sebaste on his own authority, although he could not de iure and for a long time after the appointment the dean was not found to have assented, as is said. The pope wishes the grace that he initiated come into effect, so he orders the patriarch to proceed without difficulty with the appointment of Brother H[ugues] to the episcopacy of Sebaste according to the pope’s earlier letter, notwithstanding the appointment of the dean or the general revocation of appointments of bishops or abbots that the pope recently ordered. .

text: . March 18. Perugia. Pope Innocent IV writes to the master and brothers of the house of the knighthood of the Temple of Jerusalem, relating that their petition claimed that, at one time, the pope wrote to the [cardinal-]bishop of Tusculum (Frascati) and papal legate [Eudes de Châteauroux] concerning a sum of money that the late Patriarch G[erold de Lausanne] had deposited with the addressees while alive. The pope ordered the legate to assign one third to the patriarch of Jerusalem [Robert de Nantes], G[erold]’s successor, and, on the advice of King [Louis IX] of France and the same patriarch, to convert the other two thirds to the support of the Holy Land. Because the addressees claim to be under crushing debt, however, they asked the pope to supply some relief. The pope grants that for two years they cannot be forced to pay the shares of the money that concern the legate and the patriarch [of Jerusalem], but they shall pay to the patriarch of Antioch, [Opizo Fieschi] without difficulty or delay the third that the pope established for him in another mandate, notwithstanding the fact that the addresses promised to pay fixed portions to the legate and patriarch of Jerusalem. .

text: December 9. Lateran. Pope Alexander IV writes to Patriarch [Jacques Pantaléon], papal legate, relating that the patriarch told him that the late Pope I[nnocentius IV] granted the master and brothers of the knighthood of the Temple and the present pope also granted to the master and brothers of the Hospital of Jerusalem that everywhere outside the Kingdom of Germany the Templars could receive up to 10,000 silver marks and the Hospitallers up to 2,000 silver marks from redemptions of crusading vows in aid of the Holy land and from bequests of the faithful for aid to the Holy Land when specific places and persons are not expressed, granting them certain conservators for this. On the pretext of this indulgence, the Templars started to receive these redemptions and bequests in the Kingdom of Jerusalem while the see of Jerusalem was vacant, and the patriarch fears, as he says, that the Hospitallers want to do the same, to the patriarch's prejudice and trouble. The patriarch asserts that his predecessors were long accustomed to receiving these redemptions and bequests in the kingdom when there was no papal legate a latere in those parts. Thus the pope responds to the patriarch's requests by granting that no such indulgence granted or to be granted will generate any prejudice for the patriarch regarding receiving such redemptions and bequests in the kingdom, unless it makes full and express mention of the present indulgence, rather the patriarch shall receive them as his predecessors did until now.
