text: Jul. 7. Anagni. Pope Honorius III forbids bishops to impose ecclesiastical sanctions on the churches of the canons of the Holy Sepulchre in disputes over property and he confirms for the prior and convent of the Holy Sepulchre their freedom from tithes with respect to lands held by them before the Fourth Lateran Council. In a second letter he confirms the privileges granted by Popes Honorius II, Innocent II, Celestine, II, Lucius II, Eugenius III and Alexander III, taking the church of the Holy Sepulchre under papal protection, confirming the canons’ adherence to the Rule of St Augustine, and their possessions, specifying: half of all oblations offered to the Holy Sepulchre; oblations to the True Cross, except on Good Friday and when the patriarch needs them; the tithes of the city of Jerusalem and all the diocese, given by Patriarch Arnulf; land in in the new town [in novo burgo] of Nablus, given by King Amalric, and the church the canons built there with the agreement of Patriarch Amalric; houses and lands in the same city; the tithes of a casale called Derina and of a viridarium that is between the wall of Tyre and the forewall, given by the late Petrus Tyrensis archiepiscopus; the casalia of Bethel, Hudemamel, Dersabe, Huodabes and Dermesur, bought from Hugo de Hibelino; the casalia of Betatap and De Rasen, with their guastine and dependencies, bought from Johannes Gothmanni; the casale called Geladia, which King Amalric when count of Ascalon gave in recompense for the expenses of the canons in the capture of Ascalon; the 2 casalia of Cafarup and Vetus Bethoron and the guastina of Derfres, which were acquired in an exchange with the abbot and monks of St Sabas; the land within and outside the city of Old Haifa [Vetus Caypha] given by Vivianus dominus Cayphe with the agreement of his son Paganus; the house the canons built there and the land which the 2 brothers Rogerius and Johannes gave; the church and tithes of that land and its animals, conceded by Ern[esius] Cesariensis archiepiscopus and confirmed by charter; the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Acre; the casale called Mimas with 2 carrucate terre, given by Lambertus; 2 carrucate terre given by Giraldus de Cunin; the garden that had belonged to Mainardus de Portu, given by his son Raimundus when he became a confrater [frater] of the Holy Sepulchre; the 2 casalia of Gebul and Hecar, together with fishing rights for 8 days on the Sea of Galilee, the angaria [of the fishermen] for one day and a boat [navis], given by Willelmus de Burgis and confirmed in a charter by his son Gualterius princeps Tyberiadis; the house and lands in Calcalia given by Fredericus, a confrater [frater] of the Holy Sepulchre, and confirmed by Bartholomeus, dominus of the villa, who added 1 carrucata terre; all the houses in the city of Jerusalem confirmed by the king [Amalric]; the house bought from the archbishop of Tyre. The pope also confirms the right of the prior and canons of the Holy Sepulchre to celebrate stational Masses at and to process to the Templum Domini, the Mt of Olives, Mt Sion and St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat on their feasts, even when the patriarch is absent. They also have the right, in the patriarch’s absence, to excommunicate malefactors in their parishes, especially those who withhold the payment of tithes. None of their goods can be alienated or pledged, except by the common agreement, or that of the wiser part, of the canons; nor can anyone be sent overseas, suspended or expelled, unless his fault is manifest. Confratres can receive communion from the canons and be buried in the canons’ cemeteries unless they are excommunicated. The patriarch cannot extort goods from the canons and confratres. The canons are freed from payment of tithes on noval lands, cultivated by themselves or at their expense, or providing animal fodder. The election of priors by the canons is to be free from interference. Jul. 7. Anagni.

1799
year: 1218
initiator: Pope Honorius III
recipient: Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, the papal legate
text: Jul. 13. Lateran. Pope Honorius III reports to his legate, Cardinal Pelagius of Albano, that the bishop of Famagusta has informed him of excessive behaviour by the archbishop of Nicosia, who has demanded the presence of his suffragan bishops whenever he visits their churches, when they are only bound to be present on the first occasion. The archbishop allows leave of absence for 2 or 3 years to all who have asisia in churches, without the bishops’ permission, and to enjoy their benefices in absentia, on the basis of a successful appeal made to the pope by Rogerius who had an asisia at Famagusta. He claims the right, on the basis of precedents, to create on his consecration a new canonry in every cathedral without consulting the bishops, although no such precedent has ever been experienced at Famagusta. He has forced the bishop of Famagusta, who had obeyed the papal judge delegates in the case of magister D decanus Nycosiensis against the archbishop’s wishes, into exile, after the bishop had been suspended by the bishop of Paphos and the archdeacon of Famagusta, on the unjust accusation that he had failed to meet the archbishop. He has denied the bishop his jurisdictional power of excommunication, because he had excommunicated certain canons of Famagusta. He has entrusted the administration of the diocese to the archdeacon of Famagusta and to Willelmus canonicus Famagustanus. The pope orders Cardinal Pelagius to reinstate the bishop. Jul. 13. Lateran.

comments: [321] The sums of money, destined for the Fifth Crusade rather than the Holy Land, are not included here, but the names are listed, because most of the individuals concerned must have also visited the Latin East.

1858
year: 1220
initiator: Petrus de Monteacuto, master of the Knights Templar
recipient: Bishop N. of Ely
text: Sept. 20. Acre. Frater Petrus de Monteacuto magister militum Templi informs Bishop N. of Ely [Elimensis episcopus] [322] that enough peregrini reached Egypt on the passage after the capture of Damietta and the castle of Taphneos to defend Damietta and the castles. The papal legate and the clergy wanted to launch a campaign against the infidel, but the secular leaders of the army [barones exercitus] refused, because they did not believe there were enough troops both to engage the enemy and garrison the cities and castles. Meanwhile the sultan of Egypt has fortified a camp not far from Damietta and has built bridges to obstruct any Christian advance. The Saraceni armed galeiae and in September began to obstruct the Christian lines of communications at sea. In spite of a lack of funds, which made it hard for the Christians to maintain their fleet, the Christians armed galeiae, galiones and other vessels [vasa] to resist them. Coradinus, the sultan of Damascus, knowing that the cities of Acre and Tyre were denuded of warriors and people, launched an assault and besieged and took castrum Peregrinorum, although there were many peregrini in Acre. Meanwhile Seraph, the son of Saphadinus and the brother of the sultans of Egypt and Damascus, has prevailed in warfare against eastern Saraceni, although he could not overcome all of them easily. Given the threat he poses to Antioch and Tripoli, Acre and Egypt, and the Templar castles, the dissension among the Saraceni is a comfort to the Christians. The emperor has been expected, but if he does not come during the next summer, either Syria or Egypt will be threatened. Help is desperately needed soon. Sept. 20. Acre. Frater Petrus de Monteacuto magister militum Templi informs Bishop N. of Ely [Elimensis episcopus] [322] that enough peregrini reached Egypt on the passage after the capture of Damietta and the castle of Taphneos to defend Damietta and the castles.

text: After Sept. 10. P. de Albeneio [325] writes to his friend the earl of Chester [comes Cestriae et Lincolniae]. After a sea-voyage from Marseille to Damietta, he arrived to hear of the disastrous campaign, undertaken by the king of Jerusalem, who, he had heard, was opposed to it, the papal legate, the duke of Bavaria, the Knights Templars and Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem, who led 1000 milites crucesignati, another 5000 milites and 40000 foot soldiers [pedites]. He describes how the army became trapped between Damietta and Cairo [Babylonia], how, under attack from the sultan and his brother Conradinus, it was forced to withdraw with the Nile in flood, how it lost many dead and captured and was compelled to exchange hostages and make a truce of 8 years with the sultan, involving the return of Damietta and all captives. He decided to journey to Acre, which he reached on 9 September. Damietta was formally surrendered on the following day. He reports that the king of Jerusalem intends to visit the West for assistance.

recipient: Frater A. Martel, locum praeceptoris militum Templi tenens in Anglia
text: Mid Sept. Acre. Frater P. de Monte-acuto militum Templi magister informs frater A. Martel, locum praeceptoris [militum Templi] tenens in Anglia, of the disastrous events in Egypt that followed the fall of Damietta. A council, comprising the papal legate, the duke of Bavaria, who represented the emperor and wanted to advance, the magistri of the Knights Templar, the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem and the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans, counts, barones and all the rest unanimously agreed to go on to the offensive. The king of Jerusalem, who had been summoned, came with his barones and armed galeiae and naves. On 30 June the king, the legate and the army marched to meet the sultan. They reached his camp, established in the middle of the Nile, and prepared to build bridges, but their numbers were reduced by 10,000 men or more by crusaders leaving without permission. The sultan’s galeiae, taking advantage of the flooding of the Nile, cut of the Christians’ line of communication and provisions. The Christians decided to retire, but were blocked by the forces of the sultan’s brothers, Seraph sultan of Aleppo and Coradinus sultan of Damascus, together with the sultans of Homs, Hamah,and Coilanbar. The Christians, deprived of provisions that had been lost in the river, and impeded by the Nile flood, were forced to make a truce. They surrendered Damietta and any prisoners [esclavi] that could be found in Tyre and Acre in return for the relic of the True Cross and Christian prisoners [esclavi] in the kingdoms of Egypt and Damascus. When the Christian leaders disclosed the terms, the bishop of Acre, the cancellarius and Henricus comes de Malta were displeased and wished to defend Damietta, but this proved to be impossible. The Christians agreed to a truce of 8 years with the sultan of Egypt, who supplied them with food. Mid Sept. Acre. Frater P. de Monte-acuto militum Templi magister informs frater A.

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. Oct. 1-31. Acre.
