[26] All this is related at length by Jacques de Vitry.

[27] "Cil hom qui comenca l'ordre des Freres Mineurs, si ot nom
frere Francois ... vint en l'ost de Damiate, e i fist moult de
bien, et demora tant que la ville fut prise. Il vit le mal et le
peche qui comenca a croistre entre les gens de l'ost, si li
desplot, par quoi il s'en parti, e fu une piece en Surie, et
puis s'en rala en son pais." Historiens des Croisades, ii.

[29] The episode of Brother Leonard's complaints, related below,
gives some probability to this hypothesis.

[36] _Mon. Germ. hist. Script._, t. 23, p. 376. This passage is
of extreme importance because it sums up in a few lines the
ecclesiastical policy of Honorius III. After speaking of the
perils with which the _Humiliati_ threatened the Church,
Burchard adds: _Quae volens corrigere dominus papa ordinem
Predicatorum instituit et confirmavit._ Now these _Humiliati_
were an approved Order. But Burchard, while classing them with
heretics beside the Poor Men of Lyons, expresses in a word the
sentiments of the papacy toward them; it had for them an
invincible repugnance, and not wishing to strike them directly
it sought a side issue. Similar tactics
