Latin-to-English translation: Sample letter from Epistolae, a free web database of Latin letters sent and received by medieval women. The database was created through a grant from Columbia University. In this letter, Pope Innocent III writes to Marie of Montpellier on June 6, 1212, commanding her to relinquish the town of Montpellier to her illegitimate half-brother or seek further judgment at Rome. Marie went to Rome and eventually obtained a judgment in her favor.
See this and other letters with the original Latin text on the Epistolae website here.
