Abstract
One of the most mysterious reports from the Life of Alexander Nevsky about the visit to the Rus’ prince of the Pope Innocent IV’s envoys, Cardinals Gald and Gemont, most likely has a real basis. Several characteristic details testify to this. In particular, the total number of Cardinals noted in the Life, who were with the Pope (twelve), corresponds to the actual number of Cardinals appointed by Innocent IV. The visit of the pope’s representatives to Alexander was to take place in the second half of 1252 or at the beginning of 1253, when the powers of Archbishop Albert Suerbeer as papal legate in Rus’ were temporarily terminated. During their trip, the papal envoys visited two of the strongest Rus’ Princes at once – Alexander Nevsky and Daniil Galitsky. Papal emissaries at this time could be the Bishop of Verona, Jacopo da Breganze, and the Bishop of Kammin, Hermann von Gleichen. In the Galician-Volhynian Chronicle they were attributed according to their belonging to episcopal sees (Bishops Beren’sky and Kamenets’ky), and in the Life of Alexander Nevsky – according to their relationship with the Cardinals who led their mission. These could be Guglielmo Fieschi, who was then in charge of allied negotiations with the Byzantine Church, as well as Hugo de Saint-Cher, who acted as legatus a latere in Central-Eastern Europe.
《亚历山大·涅夫斯基传》(Life of Alexander Nevsky)中最神秘的一篇报道是关于教皇英诺森四世(Innocent IV)的特使、红衣主教戈德(Gald)和吉蒙特(Gemont)拜访罗斯王子的,这篇报道很可能是有真实依据的。几个特征细节证明了这一点。特别是,《生活》中记载的与教皇在一起的红衣主教的总数(12人)与英诺森四世任命的红衣主教的实际人数相对应。教皇的代表访问亚历山大的时间是1252年下半年或1253年初,当时大主教阿尔伯特·苏尔贝尔作为罗斯的教皇特使的权力暂时终止。在这次旅行中,教皇使节同时拜访了两位最强大的罗斯王子——亚历山大·涅夫斯基和丹尼尔·加利茨基。此时的教皇使者可能是维罗纳主教雅各布·达·布雷甘泽和卡明主教赫尔曼·冯·格莱臣。在加利西亚-沃勒希尼亚编年史中,他们的归属是根据他们属于主教(主教贝伦斯基和卡梅涅茨基),在亚历山大·涅夫斯基的生活中,根据他们与领导他们使命的红衣主教的关系。这些人可能是古列尔莫·菲耶斯基,他当时负责与拜占庭教会的联盟谈判,还有雨果·德·圣谢,他在中欧和东欧担任临时使节。
