Papal Attitudes towards Eastern Adriatic Piracy and the Fourth Lateran Council

Based on the rhetoric of papal letters related to several cases of piracy, and the relevant decrees of the Third and Fourth Lateran Councils, the author outlines the formation and development of papal attitude towards piracy along the Eastern Adriatic coast. This is closely linked to papal position regarding the alleged heresy of Bosnia and the concept of papal right to depose secular rulers.
