Dear Hyrkan de Silcross,

I must admit that I am most disappointed about your deeds. It seems most obvious that you have a very strange interpretation of my wishes. I have asked you to clarify that no attack on orthodox faith or catholic faith is acceptable, but you decided not to react.

Next I asked you to get Denis de Fecamp and Ljudislav to start peace talks, but what happens? Ljudislav again rejects anything, but you attack the catholics who offered peace again. Therefore I must assume that peace is none of the intentions of the Order.

This leaves me to the final point. The serbian ambassador started to reject the believe in Iesu Christ. He says that everyone believing in Iesu is a satanic worshipper. I expect a clear answer what you see in Serbia regarding the christian faith.

I am afraid that my letter must have not reached you. I asked for a clarification of your first wish, but i received none. As for the talks, i have been informed that the king of Poland, Jjah Virillis has been asked to be the mediator by the people engaged. As such, i thought that my mediation should either be cancelled or postponed.

As for your last point, the accusal of hieromonk Nikanor, calling you heretic, is rather a matter that should be discussed among the bishops, patriarchs and theologians. The Order does not wise for a division of christendom between Orthodox and Catholic. We shall strive for a mending of relationships between the two, and i hereby offer, once this bloodbath in serbian soil is over, to host a conference, a Synod if you may call it, so that peace can be brought once more in the body of the church.

thanks for the prompt answer. I always thought I answered your letter that only the last 2 years are sufficient. Otherwise you would be forced to see the hungarian heretic speeches from the time they fought the polish, prussian, bavarian, saxon and burgundian alliance and that would be more a punishment than a clarification.

For the treaty. Even if his majesty JJah Virilis is a mediator you are still asked to get Ljudislav moving or to abandon his side. The catholics demanded as far as I am informed only a very little, but Ljudislav still does not participate. So you know whom to blame for the bloodshed. As you always claim that your only target is to defend serbian peasants I wonder why your troops are seeking another battle on serbian grounds, even after the burgundian duke has announced that they will leave the area without doing any further harm to serbians as soon as the contract is signed? Would you please explain your strategy for peace in a way I can understand?

For the issue with Nikanor. There are two aspects in his doing. He is radical supporter of the old fashion for the filioque and only accepts the interpretation that Iesu is less than god. This is something were you are right which has to be discussed between me and the patriarchs and I am willing to do so. The issue why he was excomunicated is that he denies that Iesu is the son of god and he does not believe in the trinitas. Therefore I would like to repeat my question whether you have found this heresy in Serbia as your men have been there for long time? Your men are best suited for this task and I would like to avoid sending in the current situation an Inquisitor from Rome to Serbia.

With regards
Urban III, Vicarius Iesu Christi

Very well, i shall send the word to my secretaries at the chancellery, to address each Orthodox-Catholic aggressor of the past two years(naturally excluding Serbia-Burgundy, as we have already stated that this war was not acceptable).

As for the issue of the treaty. We have chosen to leave the Serbian side, for both this reason and to defend the Holy lands from the muslim Jihad. The Order will march against who it should always do, enemies of christendom.

Regarding your third question, we have only been able to observe the citizens of the capital at Duklja, where our armies were encamped, as we were constantly engaged in battles after leaving it. I should note that i have not seen any radical heretic behaviour among them. What i would suggest is that, through cooperation with the Patriarch of Constantinople, a special group is formed, not like the inquisition, but rather a more observant one, in order to clarify what is going on in the Serbian Empire.

I am pleased to read the last letter from you, at least regarding the part of Serbia. What worries me a bit is a letter from the man called Alar, who was, if I remember correctly, a French monarch, who wanted to become pope and now starts a crusade of all muslim states against Jerusalem. I don't think it is neccessary to mention how important the protection of this city is?

Therefore I send you my thanks and my best wishes. As soon as the military situation is settled I would like to visit Jerusalem to get an own picture of the situation.

Your eminence, this faith-shifting lunatic is already high on his heels as i personally lead the templar fleet chasing him. I can assure you that he will not lay his foot inside the walls of Jerusalem. Although disturbing news have reached me of an invasion of barbarians on lands of the byzantine empire. We shall not rest until the heathens are crushed and christianity is not at threat by anyone.

Also, i have been notified that the honor guard your holiness requested for is a few days sailing from reaching the italian shore and Ravenna. I have taken the liberty to send a man from my personal retinue from the chancellery, regarding faith matters, that may be able to assist you with your concerns. His name is Alexandros, he is one of the officials sent with the Guard. I hope you will welcome and entrust him to be among your counsel.
