text: Feb. 8. Lateran. Pope Innocent III rebukes the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem for resorting to force in their dispute with the Knights Templar over possessions in Margatum and Valenia, expressing disgust at Christians, especially those accustomed to fight Saraceni, taking up arms against one another. The Hospitaller brothers Disigius prior Baroli and Og[erius], preceptor Italie and the knights Templar [fratres militiae Templi] Petrus de Villaplana and Terricus have appeared before the pope, with testimony from peregrini and bishops from overseas. With the consent of the miles Seguinus, the pope judges that the possesssion should be returned to the Templars. But after holding it for a month they should then respond to the plea of Seguinus in the Hospitallers’ curia [at Margatum], to which should be assembled suitable men from the principality of Antioch and the county of Tripoli, who are acceptable to the Templars. The decision will be enforced by the patriarch of Antioch, the archbishop of Nazareth and the bishop of Valenia. Warning the Orders, Innocent draws attention to the procedures for the reconciliation of disputes agreed during the pontificate of Pope Alexander III.

A case was heard in Rome by 3 cardinals relating to a dispute over the church of Nefins, its tithes and 3 casalia, between the church of Tripoli, represented by S[eguinus] prior sancti Michaelis and A[imericus] canonicus Tripolitanus, and the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. Pope Celestine III had written to the patriarch of Jerusalem, ordering the archbishop of Nazareth and the abbas of the Mt of Olives to put the Hospitallers in possession of church of Nephin, its tithes and the 3 casalia. Innocent reverses that judgement in favour of the church of Tripoli. He orders the archbishop of Tyre and the bishop of Sidon to execute his judgement.

text: Jan. 11. In castro Crati. The canons of the church of Valenia record that on the death of the bishop they canonically elected as bishop dominus Eustachius archydiaconus Berytensis, following the advice of dominus O. archiepiscopus Apamiensis. On their behalf, dominus B. episcopus Antaradensis, and dominus Willelmus canonicus Valenie, informed frater Garinus de Monte Acuto magister Hospitalis of this election at Coebium [al-Khawabi, which was under siege], maintaining that this presentation should not prejudice the church of Valenia in future, until the pope had recognized that the right of presentation after an election belonged to the magister of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. The magister was openly displeased, saying: ‘Whoever names Rome ought to claim his right through Rome’. He said that he would take advice and reply to the messengers, but he could not reply because on the same day there was an incursion by the Turci and the siege of the castle was raised. The canons brought the bishop-elect to Valenia, but, recognizing that the magister and brothers were displeased, sought advice from the patriarch and the archbishop, who ordered them not to offend the Hospital of St John and to preserve its rights, which were the same as those enjoyed by the prince of Antioch and the king of Jerusalem with respect to their cathedral churches. The patriarch appointed dominus episcopus Antaradensis to be his representative in negotiating peace. The canons went with the bishop and the bishop-elect to Cratum and presented the lord elect to the magister, asking him to assent to the election. They conceded that the magister Hospitalis frater Garinus de Monte Acuto and his successors should have the same right of presentation and assent in the church of Valenia as had the prince of Antioch and the king of Jerusalem in their cathedral churches. B. Antaradensis episcopus, acting as the representative of the lord patriarch, and the canons of Valenia have sealed this record. Witnesses: dominus Jobertus Antadardensis thesaurarius; dominus Jacobus cappellanus domini episcopi Antaradensis; dominus Manasserius; Hernesius; dominus Willelmus Seleman; dominus Fulco Gerbaut; dominus Joannes Berton.

The pope orders the patriarch of Jerusalem, the archbishop of Tyre and the abbas Sancti Samuelis de Monte Gaudii Premonstratensis ordinis Jerosolimitane diocesis to decide on these issues.
