made a cardinal. Sir Roger Avenel is buried at Melrose next
to his father. Dom Michael, the abbot of Glenluce, is buried at Vaucelles on St
Michael’s day; in a similar way, Dom Gilbert, the abbot of Coupar, at Saint-Rémy on 10
October; while they are returning from the general chapter. Dom William de Binin, the
prior of Newbattle, is appointed to the rule of the house of Coupar on the Advent of the
Lord.
In the 1244th year of the Lord, the lord William,
the abbot of Cîteaux, was unwilling to act as abbot, and the lord , abbot of la Ferté, succeeded him. Also, Alan Musarde of
Rievaulx was appointed abbot of Glenluce. In the same year, Innocent, the lord pope,
entered the land of the lord king of France, and stayed at Lyons, where on the day of
the Holy Trinity1 he consecrated Otto, formerly the legate
of England and Scotland, as bishop of Porto. For he earlier made John, the former abbot
of La Piété Dieu, cardinal priest at the titular-church of San Lorenzo in Lucina. In the
same year, that most detestable traitor, Walter Bisset, and his accomplices, did not
stop pouring the poison of dissent in the ears of Henry, the king of England, until he
had assembled his army and begun to advance against the lord Alexander, the king of
Scotland, as far as Newcastle. The king of Scotland came as far as Ponteland to meet him
with an immense host. But, at the urgent entreaties of the archbishop of York in
particular, as well as of other important men, peace was re-established on the eve of
the Assumption. On account of this, the king of Scotland returned to his country, and
the king of England made plans to move against Wales. For the Welsh were rebelling, not
being able to bear the yoke of the English; not omitting to mention that, there, the
King of Glory was pleased to exalt the king of Scotland in the grace of miracles—as we
have heard from many. In this year, the land of Jerusalem was destroyed and these
letters which reached the lord pope. To Innocent, the most holy father and
lord, by the grace of God
