Notification that the pope has consecrated (among others) the bishop of Coventry. REGESTA, VOL. XITI. 9 HONORIUS III. Request to the king of France to abstain from invading the territory of the king of England, with whom the pope has in vain urged him to prolong the truce in consideration of the Holy Land, in the cause of which the power of France has been the chief, and for which the pope has taken counsel with the emperor Ferdinand and the king of Sicily, so that by a general peace between Christian princes it should be possible for them all to come to its assistance. The pope has sent the Cistercian abbot of Hautecombe (de Colwmba) to represent him personally in this matter. [Shirley, i. 541.] Concurrent mandate to the said abbot.
