FOLIO CCXI recto

In the meantime the affairs of the Christians improved from day to day; and the papal legate, Andrew (Andreas), king of Hungary, and other knights and nobles hoped soon to crush the sultan and his Saracens. By common counsel they decided to proceed to the cities of Cairo and Babylon, into which the sultan, taking with him all removable possessions, ornaments and treasures of the Saracens, had fled. Now the sultan employed such cunning that he caused to be filled up all the channels by which the water of the Nile was conducted into the country, and ordered all fodder to be removed, so that not enough remained to sustain man and beast for three days. In consequence the Christians suffered such great concern that they feared that upon their return to Damietta they would come to grief because of the damming up of the channels. Therefore they sent emissaries to the Sultan; and of him they secured peace upon condition that they surrender the city of Damietta, together with all the possessions in it; and the Sultan agreed to return to them the piece of the cross which was in his possession, and to exchange prisoners. This occurred in the Year of Salvation twelve hundred twenty-one.[The story here told is that of the Fifth Crusade, the last one started in that pontificate of crusades – the pontificate of Innocent. It owed its origin to his feverish zeal for the recovery of Jerusalem, rather than any pressing need in the Holy Land; for here peace had reigned almost unbroken during the forty years following the loss of Jerusalem, and the brother and successor of Saladin had granted the Christians a series of truces (1198-1203, 1204-1210, and 1211-1217). But Innocent could never consent to forget Jerusalem in spite of the tragedies and failures of the past. In the fourth Lateran Council of 1215 he found the opportunity to rekindle the flickering fires. Before this gathering of all Christian Europe he proclaimed a crusade for the year 1217, and it was resolved that a truce of God should reign for the next four years, and for the same period all trade with the Levant should cease. There was to be peace in Europe and a commercial war with Egypt. In Germany, where Frederick II took the cross in this same year, a large body of crusaders gathered together; in 1217, the southeast sent the duke of Austria and the king of Hungary to the Holy Land; while in 1218, an army from the northwest joined at Acre the forces of the previous year. It was resolved to begin the crusade by the siege of Damietta. The original leader of the crusade was John of Brienne, king of Jerusalem, who had succeeded Amalric II; but after the end of 1218, the cardinal legate Pelagius claimed the command. The crusaders captured Damietta, but nothing was done to clinch the advantage. The entire year 1220 was spent by the crusaders in Damietta, partly in consolidating their immediate position, and partly in waiting for the arrival of Frederick II. In 1221, Hermann of Salza, master of the Teutonic Order, along with the duke of Bavaria, appeared in camp before Damietta. Without waiting any longer for Frederick, the cardinal, against the advice of King John, gave the signal for the march on Cairo. The sultan reiterated his former terms of peace – cession of most of the kingdom of Jerusalem, surrender of the cross that had been captured by Saladin in 1187, and the restoration of all prisoners. King John urged acceptance; but the legate insisted on a large indemnity in addition and the sultan prepared for war. The crusaders were driven back toward Damietta, and Pelagius had to make a treaty by which he gained a free retreat and the surrender of the Holy Cross at the price of the restoration of Damietta. The treaty was to last for eight years.]

Elizabeth, daughter of a Hungarian king, and lawful spouse of the landgrave of Hesse, was illustrious in Germany in the Year of the Lord 1230. From youth she was devoted to divine service, and all her deeds were conformable to the will of God. She was an extirpator of vice, an image of patience, and a mirror of innocence. She suffered much persecution and scorn at the hands of her husband and her kin; but the Lord was her secret comforter. Her husband, the landgrave, left her free to practice good works and to serve God; and she devoted herself to those things with all her might until the time of her death. She banished all merriment from her lips, cared for the poor, bathing them and washing their bedding and clothing, and erecting a hospital for them. And now, having set up a treasury of good deeds by her virtuous practices, she veered from communion with her earthly spouse to a communion with Christ, laying aside her worldly attire, and receiving from master Conrad of Marburg a coarse habit; and she scorned the pomp and renown of riches, and disdained the world. On the 14th day of the Kalends of December she journeyed to the Lord. Among other countless miracles which God performed through her are the raising of 16 dead, and the restoration of sight to one born blind. She was enrolled among the saints by Gregory the Ninth, who ordered that her feast day be celebrated on the 13th day of the Kalends of December.[Elizabeth of Hungary (1207-31), daughter of Andrew II, king of Hungary, at the age of 14 married Louis IV, landgrave of Thüringia, and devoted herself to religion and to works of charity. According to legend, Louis at first forbade her unbound gifts to the poor. One day he saw his wife descending from the Warburg with a heavy bundle of bread; but when he sternly asked her to open it, he saw nothing but a mass of roses. The miracle converted him. On the death of Louis “the Saint” in 1227, Elizabeth was deprived of the regency by his brother, Henry Raspe IV, on the pretext that she was wasting the estates by her alms. With her three infants she was driven from her home, but ultimately her maternal uncle, Egbert, bishop of Bamberg, offered her a house, adjoining his palace. Through the intercession of some of the principal barons, the regency was again offered her, but renouncing all power, she chose to live in seclusion at Marburg, doing penance and ministering to the sick. She died there in 1231, and was canonized by Gregory IX in 1235.]

The five books of the canon law, so called in analogy to the five senses, and known as the Decretals, were compiled at this time by Pope Gregory the Ninth through Raymond, and arranged in five parts. In them are comprehended various statutes and ordinances touching upon the Holy Trinity, the Christian faith, the courts, the clergy, marriage, and penalties pertaining thereto, etc.[For Raymond, see the following text and note.]

Raymond, of the Preaching Order, and its third general teacher after Jordanis, its second teacher, was a man at this time holy and conspicuous for his learning and the holiness of his life. He was of assistance and counsel to Pope Gregory the Ninth in the assembling, arrangement, and preparation of the five books of the canon law, called the Decretals. He lectured on the canon law at the university of Bologna; and, as it is said, was illustrious for his miracles.[Raymond of Pennaforte, celebrated jurist in the canon law, was born in 1180 at the castle of Pennaforte, in Catalonia. He studied jurisprudence at Bologna and became a canon at Barcelona. He joined the Dominicans in 1222, and, by his diligence in the service of the Inquisition and in preaching the crusade against the Saracens, he attracted the attention of the papal court. In 1230, Gregory IX named him his confessor and high penitentiary, and engaged him to edit a systematic law book made up chiefly of the earlier Decretals, and which is known under the title , which constitutes the second part of the . He also reduced ecclesiastical jurisprudence into scholastic form by his ; and on his return to Spain was appointed archbishop of Parragona. In 1238, he became general of his Order. He retired to a contemplative life in 1240, and was canonized in 1601.]

Accursius of Florence, a highly learned jurist, lived at this time. On the strength of his knowledge in his field, and his experience in matters of civil government, he wrote a commentary upon the entire body of the civil law.[Franciscus Accursius, Italian jurist, born at Florence in 1182, first practiced law in his native city and was later appointed professor at Bologna. He arranged in one body the countless comments and remarks on the , , and . This compilation, entitled or , but usually known as the “Great Gloss,” though written in barbarous Latin, has more method than that of any previous writer on the subject. His eldest son, Franciscus, (1225-93) also lectured at Bologna, and, on invitation of Edward I, at Oxford.]

Bartholomew of Brescia, highly renowned doctor of the canon law, at this time wrote various annotations upon and a glossary of ecclesiastical law; also a book of letters, and a chronicle of the Italian cities, etc.[Bartholomew of Brescia, instructor in the canon law at Bologna, and a fertile writer, is particularly renowned for his Glossary on the of Gratian.]

Roffredus (Odefredus) of Benevento, a celebrated doctor in both civil and canon law, compiled a very useful book.[Roffredus of Benevento (c. 1170-c. 1244) was a civil lawyer who had worked at the papal court and wrote a summary of canon law in the 1230s.]

FOLIO CCXI verso

Year of the World 6443

Year of Christ 1244

Pope Innocent the Fourth (previously called Sinibaldo), a Genoese, having been a cardinal, was elected pope. The news displeased Emperor Frederick, who knew this man’s strength, virtue and courage. When this pope entered upon his pontificate, he made known his desire for peace with the emperor; but learning that the emperor entertained animosity against him, he went to Genoa, where he became seriously ill. When recovered, he took refuge with King Philip of France, who ordered the pope to be honorably received and conveyed to Lyons. There the pope called a council and summoned the emperor to appear. And when the emperor disobediently delayed doing so, this pope excommunicated and deposed him. This so enraged the emperor that he proceeded to Parma and leveled the houses and beautiful villas that belonged to the pope’s relatives, and also causing much mischief in other places. Beside his transactions in this council, this pope also wrote many excellent books at Lyons; and he there canonized Saint Edmund (Eadimundum) of Canterbury. At this council he also ordained that the cardinals, when appearing in public, should wear red hats as a symbol of their readiness to shed their blood for the Christian faith and the salvation of the Christians. He canonized Peter of Verona, of the Preaching Order, who was slain by the heretics at Perugia; likewise Stanislaus, bishop of Krakow, who was illustrious for many miracles in his lifetime. Finally, at the suggestion of the Sicilian nobles, this pope went to Naples; and there he died, and was buried with great honor in the Church of Saint Lawrence, in the eleventh year, second month, and twelfth day of his pontificate. This pope ordained that in the Christian churches the eighth day of the festival of the birth of the Virgin Mary should be celebrated annually.

Innocent IV (Sinibaldo Fiesco), pope from 1243 to 1254, belonged to the noble Genoese family of the counts of Lavagna. After taking orders at Parma, when he was made canon of the cathedral, he studied jurisprudence at Bologna. In 1223, Pope Honorius III gave him a benefice in Parma, and, in 1226, he was established at the curia. He was next promoted to vice-chancellor of the Roman Church, and, in the same year, created cardinal priest of San Lorenzo in Lucina. In 1243, he was elected pope by the cardinals assembled at Anagni. At this time the emperor Frederick II lay under excommunication, but hoped great things from the elevation of a member of an imperialist family; but it was soon clear that Innocent intended to pursue the traditions of his predecessors. Overtures were made and interchanged, but neither side felt prepared to carry out its part of an agreement by which the emperor would satisfy the demands of the pope and receive absolution in return. Innocent began to feel unsafe in Rome, where the imperial partisans had the ascendancy. He fled to Sutri, sailed to Genoa, and proceeded to Lyons, at that time a nominal dependency of the empire. From there he issued a summons for a general council, before which he cited Frederick to appear in person or by deputy. The council met in 1245 and was attended by the partisans of the pope; and though Frederick condescended to be represented by his justiciar Thaddeus of Suessa, the judgment was a foregone conclusion. Innocent renewed the sentence of excommunication, and declared Frederick deposed as emperor and king of Naples. He proclaimed a crusade against Frederick, arming the Dominican and Franciscan friars with special indulgences for those who would take up the cross against the imperial heretic. At the same time he sought to undermine Frederick’s authority in Germany and Italy, and fomented a conspiracy amongst the feudal lords. At his instigation, the German archbishops and a few secular nobles, in 1246, elected Henry Raspe, landgrave of Thüringia, German king; but the landgrave died in the same year, and the papal party elected William II, count of Holland, as his successor.

Innocent’s relentless war against Frederick was not supported by lay opinion. It wrought havoc and misery in Germany, increasing resentment against the priests. The pope’s legate was driven from England, and not even the saintly king, Louis IX of France, approved the pope’s attitude. Failure of the crusade in 1248 against the Muslims in Egypt was ascribed to the deflection of money and arms to the war against the emperor. Nor were the clergy a unit behind Innocent. At first the war went in Frederick’s favor, but the defeat of his camp before Parma by the papal partisans was a blow from which he never recovered. He died in 1250.

Innocent IV left Lyons for Italy in 1251. He continued the struggle with Frederick’s son, Conrad IV, who in 1252 descended into Italy, reduced the rebellious cities, and claimed the imperial crown. After Conrad’s capture of Naples, Innocent feared that Rome itself might fall into his hands.

But Conrad died in 1254, leaving the infant son Conradin under the pope’s guardianship. Innocent posed as the champion of the infant, exercising his rights over the kingdom of Sicily by nominating his own relatives to its most important offices.

Finally, when Manfred, who by Emperor Frederick’s will had been charged with the government of the two Sicilies, felt himself obliged to acknowledge the pope’s suzerainty, Innocent IV threw off the mask, ignored his ward’s claims, and formally asserted his own claims to Calabria and Sicily. He entered Naples; but in the meantime Manfred had fled, and had raised an army of considerable strength. The news of Manfred’s initial successes reached Innocent as he lay sick, and is said to have hastened his end. He died in 1254, and was succeeded by Alexander IV.

Pope Alexander the Fourth was hastily elected pope after the death of Pope Innocent the Fourth in the month of January in the Year of Salvation twelve hundred fifty-four. This Alexander, the fourth pope of this name, formerly called Rinaldo (Raynaldo), was a native of Campania and cardinal of Ostia. He was elected without delay to protect the churches against the power of Manfred, king of Sicily, whom the pope warned not to undertake any measures against the church. Alexander was a man of magnanimous disposition and counsel, and kind to the poor Christians; and for that reason he destroyed several books written against poverty by a certain William (Guilhelmo). This Alexander excommunicated said Manfred in open council at Anagnia, and persecuted the ravagers and tyrants. He undertook to arbitrate the war between the Venetians and the Genoese. Through a vision, In which the Blessed Augustine appeared to him, he accomplished the unification of the hermit brethren, a measure which his predecessors had begun; and he forced said order to leave its hermitage and to live in the city, where its members would be more useful in teaching and preaching, in setting examples, and in hearing confessions. In this way he confirmed the order, and gave it and the Preaching and Barefoot Friars many privileges, advantages, and concessions. He also gave them much assistance and support, being particularly favorable to the learned of the Order, and promoting many of them to cardinals and bishops. And after this pope in the third year of his pontificate had canonized the virgin Clara in the city of Anagnia, he again undertook to arbitrate and settle the matters involved in the war between those mighty communities of Italy, the Venetians and the Genoese. For that purpose he proceeded to Viterbo. There he was so distressed by the delays in the matter that he died; and there he was buried with great solemnity in the vicinity of the church of Saint Lawrence, in the 7th year of his pontificate; and the chair was then vacant for three months and four days.[Alexander IV (Rinaldo), pope from 1254 to 1262, was elected at Naples to succeed Innocent IV. His succession also involved the guardianship of Conradin, last of the Hohenstaufen, to whom he promised benevolent protection; but in less than a fortnight, he conspired against Conradin and bitterly opposed Conradin’s uncle, Manfred. With excommunication and interdict, he fulminated against the party of Manfred, but in vain; nor could he enlist the knights of England and Norway in a crusade against the Hohenstaufen. Rome itself became too Ghibelline for the pope. He withdrew to the Viterbo; and there he died in 1261.]
