institution: Holy Sepulchre
text: Mar. 11 1144 – Aug. 13 1145. Petrus Dominici Sepulcri prior records that when an inhabitant of Mahumeria, a woman called Odierda, became a consoror of the Holy Sepulchre, she gave the community a vineyard. When she died her son Andreas held on to it for a long time against the canons’ will. Robertus Nazarenus archiepiscopus, Fulcherius Tyrensis archiepiscopus, Bernardus Sydoniensis episcopus, Rorgo Ptolomaidensis episcopus, Helias of Tiberiadensis episcopus, Rogerius Ramathensis episcopus and others judged that the fruits of the vineyard should be enjoyed by the canons, but the canons, moved by charity, have remitted the fruits to Andreas and have conceded the vineyard to him for life on condition that they receive a third of the harvest and the tithe, and the vineyard itself on his death.

initiator: Rainald of Châtillon, prince of Antioch, and his wife Constance
recipient: Church of Saint Mary and the archbishop of the city of Pisa
text: May 10. Antioch. In the palatium. Rainald [of Châtillon], Dei gratia Antiochenorum princeps, together with Constantia eorumdem principissa, gives the church of St Mary and the archbishop of the city of Pisa, together with all the people from the province of Pisa living in Antioch, represented by their legate Butato, land on which to build a house in the port of Latakia. This land extends below the church of S. Helias, [running] before the houses of the Temple and of magister Ugo to the sea, and along the beach as far as a tannery [teneria] and the old wall and as far as the ditch. If by the judgement of a court the Pisans can recover land in the port that Willelmus Embriacus has occupied, the land described above will be restored to the prince. Rainald also gives the Pisans a house in Antioch, which had belonged to dominus Odo de Tyro. He remits half of all duties levied on Pisan imports and exports, sales and purchases. He assures the Pisans of his protection. The Pisans’ goods will be safeguarded in shipwrecks and the possessions of those who die in the principality will be returned to their relations intact. The Pisans may settle disputes among themselves in their own court, but if any dispute arises with one of the prince’s subjects the case will be dealt with in his court. The charter, fortified with the prince’s seal, was drawn up by Gaufridus cancellarius principis. Witnesses: Garento de Saona; Galterus de Surda-valle; Gaufridus constabularius; dominus Leonardus; Leo Maiopolis dux; Martinus de Margaht; Arnaudus de Cafardam; Robertus de Surdavalle; Ugo de Volera; Isenbardus de Lenni; Petrus de Juvenaht.
