Peyroni. . . et nostram capellam et viginti quinque marchas argenti' AC Vich, 6-II-66. Pedro de Albalat had all the goods of the mensa episcopalis as security, and the debt to him was still unsettled in Dec. 1250: Junyent, 257; AC Vich, 6-III-5. 133. VL, VII, 33; Diago, fo. 109v. He had succeeded Ponce de Vilamur as archdeacon Tremp on the latter's promotion to Urgel in 1230 (AC Vich, 6-II-77; 6-II-84): a reward, doubtless, for having withstood the efforts of the sacrist of Urgel to wean him from Ponce's party at the time of the election, 'cum si hoc faceret magnum commodum esset ipsius B. de Muro et posset semper facere quicquid vellet in ecclesia Urgellensi' - as Berenguer de Mediano remembered having heard the sacrist promise: AC Seo de Urgel, d.s.n. (cit. above, p. 56). 134. VL, XIII, 174. 135. VL, XIII, 175-7; Reg. Inn. IV, 1992. Matthew Paris got wind of the incident: Chronica Majora, IV, 578-9. 136. VL, XVI, 141-2, 308-l0. 137. AC Valencia, doc. 1318 (reg. Olmos, Pergaminos, 190). The second and third names on the shortlist, it may be noted, were both those of Cistercians -- the abbots of Veruela and Benifazá. 138. 'Propter terre novitatem et sacerdotum raritatem' (Bishop Ferrer's words in a charter of Nov. 1242 to the Order of the Sepulchre), there was plenty for them to do there; and plenty was done by very small numbers: AD Barcelona, Pergaminos de S. Ana, d.s.n; Burns, Crusader Kingdom, I, 174-5; idem, Speculum, XXXV, 346, 350. 139. VL, XIII, 177-8; XIX, 311-12 ('ad instantiam et preces fratris Andreae de Albalato', Nov. 1248). 140. AC Barcelona, Libro de la Cadena, fo. 133ra-b. 141. Publ;. VL, XVII, 341-50; but lacking the later part of the second synod, the constitutions of which are in AC Barcelona, Libro de la Cadena, fos. 132va-3ra, q.v. for the prohibition on prostitutes and on the hiring of premises -- operatoria -- to them (fo.132vb). 142. VL, XVII, 346. 143. VL, XVI, 311. Whether this was done before or after Cardinal Gil's decision of 1251 is not clear. 144. AC Vich, cod. 147. fo. Ir-v (Feb. 1252). 145. Aguirre, V, 205 ff. 146. Berenguer had taken refuge at the Curia by Nov. 1246, to judge by the endorsements on papal privileges in his favour which were renewed at that time (AE Gerona, 6/59; 6/60). He was neither present nor represented at the provincial council of April 1247 (Tejada, VI, 44). He died at Naples, still with the Curia, on 6: Feb. 1255, not 1254 -- as Eubel, Hierarchia, I, 261, following VL, XIII, 178 -- or 1264 -- as Burns, I, 22. Cf. his will, publ.(and misdated) in ES, XLIV, 21, 277-9, and the Libri Anniversariorum of the Dominican convent of Gerona (which he founded) and of Barcelona: Garganta, AIEC, VI, 143 Alcalde, Homenatge a Antoni Rubió i Lluch,. II, 529. The set of synodal statutes which are attributed to him by Pontich, Synodales gerundenses, 145-9 Villanueva, RAH, MS. 62 (9-19-4), sin. pag; and Merino and La Canal, ES, XLIV, 18-20, were in fact published by his successor, apparently for the first time, in Oct. 1257: Mansi, XXIII, 927-31. 147. ES, XLVIII, 309. 148. 18 Oct. 1242 being a Saturday: AC Barcelona, Libro de la Cadena, fo. 133ra. 149. Summa, fo. 130ra.
150. Forma de sancta sinodo celebranda: AC Gerona, Llibre Vert, fo. 300r; AC Barcelona, Libro de la Cadena, fo. 46rb. 151. '...ne nimis festinent venire Ilerdam occasione synodi, nec magnam faciant moram sic se visitando et reficiendo tam in via quam in civitate': VL, XVI, 305. See also Summa, fo. 127rb. 152. At Valencia the synod was held 'tertia feria post festum S. Lucae' in 1255, 1258, 1261 and 1262: Aguirre, V, 197, 205-6. At Gerona 'synodus semper celebretur in IV feria ante festum B. Lucae': Mansi, XXIII, 931. For practice elsewhere, and further literature, see Cheney, Synodalia, 15-19. 153. Valls i Taberner, AST, XI, 258, maintains that the council which Tejada, VI, 39-41, dates 12 Jan. 1244, occurred in fact in Jan. 1245. There is evidence both for and against this revision. In Dec. 1251 the abbot and convent of Veruela referred to its constitution Cum quidem (against lay aggression on ecclesiastics) as 'constitutionem editam apud Tarrachonam in concilio provinciali ... prid. id. januarii anno domini MCCXXXXIIII', i.e. 1245: ARN, 3767/14. However, when, sometime in the period 1309- 15, the chapter of Valencia acquired authorised copies ('scriptis et registratis in registro domini :Tarraconensis archiepiscopi') of both Cum quidem and Olim excommunicasse (May 1246: Tejada, VI, 43), the former was said to have been issued 'in quinto concilio Tarraconensi celebrato anno domini millesimo ducentisimo quadragesimo tertio, prid. id januarii', i.e. 1244: AC Valencia, doc. 8987 (reg. Olmos, Pergaminos, 127, misdated). To whichever year it belonged there must have been some special reason for holding a council in the unaccustomed month of January. The reason may have been royal taxation of the church, and in this regard there is support for the earlier date, 1244, in Innocent IVs letter of May 1244 reprimanding King Jaime for demanding monetagium from the Aragonese Church, 'licet idem archiepiscopus (Pedro de Albalat) affectatis sibi quibusdam suifraganeis suis' had urged him not to do so: ACA, Bulas, leg. VII-I (reg. Miquel, 110). 154. Monday 18 April 1239; Tuesday 8 May 1240; Tuesday 13 May 1242; Tuesday 5 May 1243; Tuesday 1 May 1246; Monday 22 April 1247: Tejada, VI, 29 ff.;. Qualiter debeat celebrari concilium Tarraconense: AC Gerona, Llibre Vert, fo. 300V; AC Barcelona, Libro de la Cadena, fo. 46rb. A second assembly was held in the year 1240: the hearing of the appeal of the twelve priests of Gerona was postponed from 30 July to 16 Aug. 'propter absentiam domini episcopi qui oportuit in Ylerdam ad concilium sive colloquium ibidem celebratum': AC Gerona, Causa del Any 1240, fo. 26ra. But nothing further is known of this meeting. 155. Tejada, VI, 45; Fita, BRAH, XL, 445. 156. For the political nature of the post-1247 councils, see Fita, BRAH, XL, 446 ff., and below, p. 119.
