1626

Aug. c. 19. Lateran. Appealed to for justice by the emissaries of King Leon of Cilician Armenia, the abbas Sancte Maria Triumarcuum, Arciuardus miles and Bouo latinus cancellarius, Pope Innocent III orders the bishop of Cremona [episcopus Cremonensis] to travel to the East and to find 2 suitable men to hear the case and put an end to the dispute between the king, his nephew R. and the count of Tripoli, compelling the parties by armed as well as ecclesiastical sanctions if necessary. If the bishop cannot find any suitable judge delegates, he should recruit the patriarch of Jerusalem, who is papal legate, and the patriarch of Antioch.
