May. 1-31. Patriarch Amalric of Jerusalem writes to King Louis VII of France. After referring to the dangers facing the Holy Land, he describes the situation, history and holiness of the city of Paneas, called Belinas, which is on the site of Caesarea Philippi, and stresses its importance to the defence of Jerusalem. It has now been taken by the Turci. Amalric commends its newly consecrated bishop, I[ohannes], who is coming to France to appeal to the king to assist in its recovery.
