Description
Pope Urban IV commands the bishop of St Andrews to set before the faithful in Scotland the state of the Holy Land, and by prelates and clerks, secular and religious, chosen by him to preach the crusade, plenary remission being given by the pope to those penitents who personally assist, and to those who send men or go at the expense of others, and a proportionate pardon to those assisting otherwise, a hundred days of plenary indulgences being granted to penitents who attend processions and sermons. Power is given to the said bishop to compel clerks to promote the crusade, any papal indult to the contrary notwithstanding. Similar mandates are sent to England and Europe.
