text: May 18. Acre. Amalric, per dei gratiam in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex quintus, makes a sealed grant to the commune of Pisa, in return for the good service it gave him during the siege of Alexandria. He gives a piece [petia] of land, above the port of Acre and next to the church of St Anne, on which to build a house and a church. In length, the land follows the road for 16 canne [in longitudine secus viam cannas XVI]. In width it stretches towards the port more than 1 canna beyond the rest of the houses of the port [in latitudine autem versus portum plus une canna quam relique domus portus]. The king also concedes to the Pisans the right to have a court [curia], to which all Pisans are answerable, with the exception of the king himself and those who are king’s homines and have permanent mansiones, revenues and immoveable possessions in the kingdom. These are justiciable by the king and his judges. Amalric gives the Pisan court the right to judge in all cases except homicide, killing [mortidatio], treason, theft, rape [raptus] and such misdemeanours [forisfactiones] that incur the judgements of dismemberment or death, which are royal prerogatives. Witnesses: Fredericus archiepiscopus Tyri; Guillelmus Acconensis episcopus; Bertrandus militie Templi magister: Gilbertus magister Hospitalis; frater Philippus de Neapoli; frater Gaufridus Fulcherii; Galterius princeps Galilee; Henfridus constabularius; Hugo de Cesarea; Milo dapifer; Hugo de Hibellino; Balduinus frater eius; Barisanus frater eius; Gormundus de Tyberiade; Guillelmus marescalcus.
