Gregory IX to Master and Brethren of the Templars: in the case the archbishop of Sens and the papal penitentiar William do not succeed in collecting the required sum of 3000 m. silver - from the participants of the planned crusade of the count of Montfort and from others who are not able to go on crusade in the province of Sens -, they are ordered to add up the missing sum from their deposits for the Holy Land. - Citta del Vaticano, Archivio segreto, Reg. Vat. 18, fol. 333v. - Register. - Calendar and text in Régistre ... Grégoire IX, 2, Nr. 3924, cf. 3923.

[...] Magistro militie Templi Jerosolimitani.

Cum nobilis vir [...] comes Montis Fortis [constabularius Francie ... assumpserit crucis signaculum ..., mandamus quatenus, redemptiones votorum crucesignatorum terre sue et provincie Senonensis, quos propter paupertatem, infirmitatem seu debilitatem et alias videritis ad subsidium prefatum inhabiles ... usque ad tria millia marcarum argenti, nomine dicti comitis fideliter colligentes ...].

Verum, quia contingere poterit quod ex predictis redemptionibus et aliis tantum colligi in provincia predicta non possit, mandamus quatenus, si tibi per litteras dictorum archiepiscopi [Senonensis] et [fratri Wilhelmi] penitentiarii [nostro] constiterit quod ex redemptionibus ipsis et aliis predictam pecunie quantitatem pro predicto comite colligere nequiverint, tu illam de pecunia, si qua apud te pro predicta Terra deposita fuerit, dicto comiti supplere procures.

Datum Laterani, ut supra [V kalendas Novembris, anno undecimo].
