Early September. King Henry III of England writes to the bishop of Bethlehem (Godfrey) concerning the suggestion that his son Edmund should marry the queen of Cyprus (Plaisance) and one of his daughters should marry her son, the heir to the throne of Cyprus [Hugh II]. Envoys of the queen had come with letters. Henry would have to take counsel and will keep the bishop informed. A similar letter was written to the ‘albo cardinali’.
