The Latran IV concile takes place in the palace and church in Roma that share this name. It is one of the most important of all history and many subjects were discussed, as varied as the Albigensis crusade (Montfort was confirmed in his conquered territories), the polemic about ordalie (a practice the concile reproved), and liturgy. On this last matter, it fixed at last catholic sacrements in their near-final form and insisted on the need for more competent predicators and confessors.

Religiosam Vitam
Diplomatic actionThis bulla (a papal open letter, with force of law) approves of the statutes written by Dominique of Guzman for his newly founded ordo predicatorum, order of Preachers. It marks the beginning of the order who can now interact with other organizations as an official organization itself rather than a random gathering. Dominique, then in Tolosa, swiftly sends his followers across the kingdom of France and beyond.

Conflicts over Johannes' heritage
Military actionAs Johannes Sancti Albani died in December 1243, his will was opened. He owned more houses and lands in Paris than those that he had already offered the Dominici, and some of his heirs claimed the wrong houses. The Sancti Jacobus domus did not accept to have outsiders take their own houses. It was solved in a few month, which is remarkably fast, but it was the occasion to manifest the new order its influence and relations.

Joachimite conflict inside Universitas Parisius
Military actionA joachimite franciscan, Gerardo da Borgo San Donnino, brings the Jaochimite ideas to Paris. While he convinces many Franciscans and Dominicans to join the movement, the rest of the University disagrees, thinking it heretical. This only feeds the disagreements between the Mendicant Orders and the others, and a papal intervention is necessary, leading to da Borgo's condemnation.
