1366 CE

Pierre has sent Mézières to Venice, the princes of western Europe, and to Avignon to obtain help against the Saracens, who now threaten the kingdom of Cyprus.

His efforts are in vain; even Pope Urban V advises peace with the sultan.

Mézières remains for some time at Avignon, seeking recruits for his order, and writing his Vita S. Petri Thomasii (Antwerp, 1659), which is invaluable for the history of the Alexandrian expedition.

The Prefacio and Epistola, which form the first draft of his work on the projected order of the Passion, are written at this time.
