Pope Gregory IX rebukes the magistri and brothers of the Knights Templar and Hospital of St John of Jerusalem over the way a dispute between them about certain mills has degenerated into violence, in spite of the efforts of the papal legate, the archbishop of Ravenna, to resolve it. Reminding them of their obligations, he orders them to send suitable procurators to the Holy See by the next passage in March to receive the papal judgement. He has ordered the abbas of the Templum Domini and the abbas of St Samuel to enforce this with excommunication. He also writes in the same terms to the abbas of the Templum Domini and the abbas of St Samuel in Acre.

text: Sept. 22? [352] Assisi? After narrating the history of the discord between the emperor Frederick and citizens of Acre, the visit of the archbishop of Ravenna, and the mediation of the patriarch of Antioch and the magister of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans, and the excommunication of the citizens imposed by the archbishop of Ravenna, Pope Gregory IX refers to the presence of negotiators on behalf of both the emperor and the citizens of Acre. He is minded to relax the sentence of excommunication and suggests to Frederick that the Holy Land be returned to the state it was in before discord arose between Ricc. Filanger. marescalcus imperatoris and the nobles and barones of the kingdom and the citizens [cives] of Acre, that the cives et sindici Acconenses obey the balivi appointed for the time being by Frederick and his son C. in the maintaining of fortifications, the collection of rents and all customary rights, saving the assises [ascisii] and ancient and approved customs [consuetudines], that they and the nobles dissolve the commune [regni communia], take down the bell and remove the consules and capitanei who had been appointed after the dispute arose, abjuring all oaths made prejudicial to Frederick and Conradus and returning to their fealty. R. marescalcus imperatoris should be restored to the honour of the office of baiulus, but a new baiulus, who is above suspicion, should be appointed by the pope himself before next 1 March. Because there is so much animosity felt towards R. marescalcus, other bauli should administer the kingdom in the interim. Because the kingdom of Cyprus remains disturbed and aid to the Holy Land is hindered, the pope asks the emperor to allow him to mediate, so that the king of Cyprus be reconciled to the emperor or truces can be established.

Pope Gregory IX remits to the patriarch of Jerusalem, the archbishop of Tyre and the abbas Sancti Samuelis de Monte Gaudii Premonstratensis ordinis Jerosolimitane diocesis a dispute that has arisen between the bishop of Acre and the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. The case has already been heard in Rome, where the Hospital of St John was represented by its procurator, frater Andreas de Fogia. The bishop of Acre claimed that the Hospitallers of St John were refusing to pay the full twentieth of harvests in Casale Alba and of chickens at Cabor, contributing only a payment of 5 besants instead. They had refused to pay the twentieth on their vineyards at Manuet for the last 2 years. They were refusing the bishop his rights over those who chose burial with them. These were infringements of the agreement entered into with the church of Acre and the bishop was losing 500 Saracen besants as a result.
