Document 2/128/1 (Holy. Lib., App. I, no. 1A)

Description
Pope Eugene III writes to Abbot Alwin and the brethren of Holyrood, taking the said church into his protection; all the possessions and goods which they possess canonically from the gift or grant of a bishop or another faithful by papal permission, or may possess in future from a grant by pontiffs, by the liberality of kings or the gifts of the faithful, may remain with the abbot and his successors. The pope directs that no man is permitted to disturb the church or carry away its possessions; saving to the bishop canonical justice and reverence and the authority of the apostolic see. Should any secular person attempt to go against this, after three warnings if he should not make amends, he may lose his honour and be liable to divine justice, and subject himself to retribution.
