text: Nov. 18. Tripoli. In the palais del evesque de Triple. Patriarch Albert of Antioch, the papal legate, records his sealed arbitration, which has been agreed by Bohemond, par la grace de Deu prince d’Antioche et conte de Triple, and frere Pierre de Vieille Bride, maistre de la sainte maison del Hospital de saint Johan de Jerusalem on behalf of his convent. The parties have been engaged in long dispute over the lordship of Mareclée and Chamel and its dependencies. The Hospital of St John of Jerusalem renounces in favour of Bohemond all rights it has over Mareclée and its lordship and Chamel, putting all the charters had from Prince Bohemond [IV] into the custody of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans and promising not to raise the issues in any ecclesiastical or secular court. The maistre of the Hospital of St John and the prince have issued sealed deeds, confirming that Mareclée will be in the custody of the Hospital of St Mary until the heir comes of age. In return, Bohemond grants the Hospital of St John an annual rent of 1300 Saracen besants in Acre weight, to be paid quarterly and drawn on the prince’s rent [assize] on the chaene d’Acre, or, in case of failure, the fonde de Triple, or on the savonerie, or on the tanerie, or on the bocherie, or on all the rents inside or outside Tripoli. Bohemond will put the heir in possession of Mareclée, with Renaut Barlais as baill, and the heir will enjoy all the rights that his father Johan de Ravandal had at the time when he made fealty to the Hospital of St John for Mareclée. Bohemond promises not to molest the heir, Renaut Barlais and Renaut’s wife Agasse. Renaut will pay liege homage [fait ligesse] to the prince until the heir comes of age. When the heir is 15 years old he may subject himself either to the lordship of the Hospital of St John or to that of the prince; if to the prince, the maistre and brothers of the Hospital promise on their habit and arms [sur lur habit et sur lur armes] not to put pressure on the heir. Since matters will be restored to the state they were in when the dispute broke out, the prince will recover a rent of 1500 besants, 400 jarres of wine and casale Tolee. A rent of 1000 besants a year, held by the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans, will pass to Renaut Barlais, his wife Agasse and their heirs.

Frater Henricus de Honloch magister and the chapter of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans on one side, and dominus Iacobus de Amigdala on the other, reach an agreement, sealed with the seals of the chapter and of Iacobus, over certain charters of comes Iozolinus relating to the land of Maron, rents of 7000 besants, which Iozolinus had from the funda and cathena of Acre, and other rights which Iozolinus had in the kingdom of Jerusalem. Iacobus claimed half of these by reason of his inheritance from his mother domina Agnes, the daughter of comes Iozolinus. After the intervention of friends, the parties agree the following. With the consent of his brothers in convent, frater Henricus recognizes Iacobus as the legitimate heir and invests him with half of Maron, half of the rents of 7000 besants, and half of the rights of Iozolinus in the kingdom of Jerusalem. Dominus Iacobus de Amigdalia renounces claims to the other half of Maron and the other rents and rights of Iozolinus. He agrees that the original charters should be held by the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans, who had bought the estates from domina Beatrix, the first-born daughter of Iozolinus, reserving claims to half of other properties, should they be restored to Christian hands. He promises never to challenge his sale to the Order of half of Castrum Regis for 6400 besants. or his leasing to the Order of half of Maron for an annual rent of 2500 besants, which is described in a separate charter. He agrees that should other properties, at present held by the Sarraceni, return to Christian hands, he will seek arbitration. He will never encourage any other individual to take action against the Order. Any breach of this agreement will carry a penalty of 2000 marchae argenti.
