Sept. 14 1214 - Feb. 20 1215. [300] Frater Gaufridus thesaurarius domus Templi reports to Pope Innocent III that he delivered the pope’s letters on the matter of [the marriage of] dominus Erardus and domina Philippa to the late Patriarch Albert of Jerusalem and the archbishop of Tyre. The patriarch and the archbishop summoned Erardus and forbade him in the pope’s name to contract marriage under pain of excommunication. They also interviewed Philippa in the palatium of the king and issued the same prohibition. But shortly afterwards Erardus and Philippa married secretly, in defiance of the papal mandate. [301]

[300] For the date see Claverie, L’ordre du Temple 3:423. [301] On 31 July 1215 Pope Innocent III ordered all the prelates of France to sanction those who aided Erardus de Brena, who had married one of the daughters of the late Henricus comes Trecensis. She was illegitimately conceived, because Isabella of Jerusalem had illicitly married Henricus and, before him, Conradus marchio Montisferrati. Patriarch Albert of Jerusalem had prohibited the marriage of Erardus, but, taking advantage of Albert’s death, Erardus had travelled to Genoa and crossed the Alps, disturbing both France and the Holy Land. (Innocent III ‘Register’ 216:978, no.7) (RRH no. 880).
