. February 19. Rome. In hospitio Ottoboni apud ecclesiam S. Clementis. Cardinal Ottobono deacon of St Adriano, commissioned by the pope, delivers a sealed sentence in the case between the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans, represented by Brother Conrad (frater Conradus) their procurator, and Aimery (Aymericus) Barlais, represented by Perin (Perinus) Yspanus his procurator, over the casalia of Arabia and Zachanim. Brother Conrad (Frater Conradus) describes how the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans had occupied the casalia for a long time before Aimery (Aymericus) Barlais seized them unjustly by force of arms. The Order estimates that it has lost 1,0000 marcae since the occupation, together with 1,000 marcae incurred in expenses. On the other hand, Perin (Perinus) Yspanus presents a sealed charter from the king of Cyprus, the dominus of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, granting Aimery (Aymericus) Barlais the casalia and referring to the unjust occupation of them by the brothers of St Mary. Brother Conrad (Frater Conradus) argues that the king, even as dominus of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, has no authority, because the brothers of St Mary are professed religious, not secular persons, and cases relating to these casalia can only be decided in an ecclesiastical court. The response to this is that the casalia belong de feodo regni Iherosolimitani and should be decided in a royal court (the High Court). Brother Conrad (Frater Conradus) replies that the casalia are indeed subject to a court Christian, because the brothers are professed religious, and the casalia were assigned to them in an eleemosynary grant. They are not feudatories and are therefore, not held to reply in a secular court. Cardinal Ottobono finds for the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans. He orders Aimery (Aymericus) Barlais to pay the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans 3,000 besants for each year he has held the casalia, together with 100 librae Provenienses to cover expenses. The witnesses are generally Roman, but include Philippus de Pixano canon of Limassol (canonicus Nymocensis).
