text: Feb. 1-28. [204] Antioch. With the advice of Patriarch Aimery of Antioch and the agreement of his wife domina Sybilla Antiochie principissa, his sons the milites Raimundus and Boamundus, Count Raymond III of Tripoli, dominus Anterius Valenie episcopus and many clergy, milites and burgenses, Bohemond III, dei gratia princeps Antiochenus, the son of Prince Raymond, confirms under seal the masked eleemosynary grant of dominus Bertrandus Margati dominus, the son of the late dominus Rainaudus Masoerius, to the brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, represented by frater Rogerius de Molinis ejusdem domus magister. Unable to bear any longer the expense of maintaining the castle [castellum] of Margatum and fearful that he can no longer hold it against enemies so close by, with the advice of Patriarch Aimery of Antioch and the agreement of Prince Bohemond, his wife domina Sibilla Antiochie principissa, his sons the milites Raimundus and Boamundus, Count Raymond III of Tripoli, dominus Anterius Valenie episcopus and many others - clerics, milites and burgenses - Bertrandus has given the city of Valenia, the castle [castellum] of Margatum and the castle [castellum] of Brahym, with villani, casalia and guastinae, together with the milites and men [homines] living there and holding fiefs [feodi et feodati], on the same terms as they were held by Bertrandus and his father Rainaudus. [Bohemond includes the charter of Bertrandus in full]. Bohemond excludes from the grant casale Assenem, which dominus Rainaldus gave him pro novesimo de se et hominibus suis; the houses of Bertrandus in Antioch, which he sold and gave away; an oven, which he gave to [the monks of] Jubinum; and the terra de Gereneis which the prince retains for himself, although he promises to give it to no other religious order than the Hospital and adds that if he should give it to a layman, it will be held in the Hospital’s lordship. Bohemond confirms the possession by the Hospital of the dependencies of the feodum Margati: Margatum, Cademois, Laycas,Malaicas/ Malaycas, Bokebeis, casale Belne, and in the principality of Antioch, casale Fassia with its guastinae and dependences by land and sea, casale Cimas, abbatia Montis Parlerii, the villa called Russa, casale Farangum, casale Coma, castellum Popos with its casale, casale Kaynon, casale Alus, abbatia S. Gregorii, which is in Montana Nigra with its casalia and guastinae, Rogia with its guastinae, casale Belmesyn, casale Besselemon, casale Luzin, cavea Belmys, casale Casnapor, casale Colcas, casale Corconai and Meunsarac which are in the mountains of Mons Parlerius, Potama and Pangeregan which are in the Vallis Russa, Andesin, abbatia de sancta Maria, casale Bodoleie, half of the casale called Gorrosie, casale Mastabe. Possession of these, with milites, homines and villani [feodi et feodati] and all rights is confirmed as an eleemosynary grant, to benefit especially the soul of Bohemond’s father Raymond. The Hospital of St John is to hold all this freed from any servitium. Bohemond confirms everything that dominus Rainaldus had in Antioch, including a bath house, and [the lordship of] all the milites of the castrum of Margatum with the servitii and feodi previously owed to dominus Rainaldus Masoerius and dominus Bertrandus. The Hospitallers may retain all loot taken from the enemy. They are not bound to observe truces made by Bohemond with the Saraceni. If they make truces with the enemies who are in the feudum of Bokebeis or are before Gabulum, Bohemond will observe them if notified. The Hospitallers are free to bring in or take out, sell or buy their goods throughout the whole of the principality without payment of any exaction, but if their homines sell or buy goods that are not the property of the Hospital, the accustomed duty [consuetudo] will be payable to the prince’s curia. If any of the prince’s subjects [homines], who are franci, give any burgesia, the Hospitallers may sell it after holding it for a year and a day, provided it is not a holding that owes servicium, but they cannot acquire any feudum held by a miles or cliens without the prince’s permission. If any of the prince’s villani, whether Saraceni or homines, enter the territories of Valenia or Margatum or other holdings, the Hospitallers should return them according to law and custom [iuxta assisiam et consuetudinem terre], but they may retain Christians and those who make peace with the prince. The prince will act similarly with respect to villani of the Hospital. In return for the prince’s alms-gift the magister and the brothers of the Hospital have given Bohemond out of charity 8000 Saracen besants and have given his sons Raimundus and Boemundus 1000 Saracen besants each.

These include houses that belonged to the Knights Templar, with a tower and a platea nearby, stretching to the sea near their fondacum above the city wall; houses that belonged to the sons of the late Balduinus Pisanus near the platea by the sea and next to their fundacum; houses that belonged to Matheus Iohannis Guidi, next to the platea by the sea that extend from the houses of the sons of Balduinus to the houses of Vguicio Taliauenti and Guinus Pisanus; and houses that belonged to the king where there was a scriptorium [in which cartule were made] and which are situated beyond the Pisan fundacum. Corradus confirms: the Pisans’ possession of the platea portus on which nothing can be built, except a Pisan logia; the possession by the Pisan commune of an oven, the furnus buciarie, which had belonged to the king and is situated in the ruga buciarie, and a bath house, which had also belonged to the king and is situated in the ruga Templi, by the ruga sancti Iuliani; the right to build 2 horse-mills [molendina equi] in Tyre and an oven in their houses, as specified in a charter from King Baldwin; the right to use weights and measures [statera, et pensae et modia et mensurae] for wine and oil and all other things, conceded to them by Count Raymond, which they can use in sales to other persons; the possession by the Pisan commune outside Tyre and in its neighbourhood of a water mill, with a house and the water, conceded by Count Raymond, a casale called Talobie with 2 guastinae, Rasalaine with all buildings, mills, water and milling rights, a casale called Sydio with a hillside guastina [guastina montis], and Ainebeddelle, with its waters and a garden that had belonged to the king. Corradus also confirms for the commune of the Pisans in Tyre all its liberties and the curia, which it had possessed for a long time in Tyre, and which had been confirmed by Count Raymond of Tripoli.

Otherwise no Pisan shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the royal curia in Tyre or elsewhere throughout the kingdom. On the other hand, the king can exact dues [talia] on the houses of Pisan burgenses situated outside the Pisan quarter [extra honorem Pisani communis] if he exacts it elsewhere in the city of Tyre, but he cannot impose any other dues [dricture] because of military or other needs, and the Pisans and those who rent Pisan propertes are to be exempt from terciaria and other dues. Corradus concedes to the Pisans the right to have a vicecomes or consul to run their curia, the right to place their own men in the catena, funda and gates of the city of Tyre to look after Pisans and those who rent properties from them, who are to be free from any attempt by king’s men or those of any baro to tax them on entry and departure.
