disembowelled him ; after which, his entrails, brains, and flesh,
which had been boiled in water, and thus separated from the
bones, were buried in the city of Antioch. His bones being
wrapped in clean linen, Conrad, duke of Suabia, his son, carried
them with him to the city of Tyre,9 8 where he buried them. '
In the same year, it was enacted by our lord the pope and the cardinals that prayers should be put up to the Lord by the Church Universal, without intermission, for the peace and deliveranceof the land of Jerusalem and of the Christian captives who were confined in chains by the Saracens.
