initiator: Willelmus prior Sancti Sepulcri
recipient: Daughter of Petrus Sancti Lazari
institution: Holy Sepulchre
text: c. Dec. 1 – 24. [43] When Petrus Sancti Lazari, a confrater [frater] of the church of the Holy Sepulchre, died, his daughter, who was a minor, and her mother asked to be able to hold the feodum of Sancti Lazari for their sustenance until the daughter should marry, after which the service owed for the fief would be resumed. When the daughter reached marriageable age the canons wanted to marry her to their famulus Petrus, whom they had brought up [noster nutritus]. The mother was vehemently opposed although she did not want to lose the fief in her lifetime. Brought with her mother, step-father [victricus], male protectors [patrini] and other lay people before Patriarch Stephen and the canons in chapter, the daughter stated that she would rather beg than marry against her mother’s will. She returned the fief to the canons on condition that her mother and step-father should continue to enjoy it for their lives. W[illelmus], third prior of the church of the Holy Sepulchre, records the canons’ agreement and their decision to provide for the son of the mother and her husband after their death. Witnesses: Anselmus cantor; Ato; Gislebertus; Petrus Bernardi; Gaudencius; Petrus elemosinarius; Aimericus; Gaufridus Acus; Petrus de Vendosme; Berengarius Parvus. Patriarch Stephen seals the deed.

Constance, Dei gracia Antiochenorum principissa, records that Adelicia Laodicie principissa, who had unjustly seized the land of the sons of Radulfus Boerius and had granted it to Guarnerius de Burgo, had recognized her fault in the presence of Geraldus Laodicensis episcopus and other good men and had ruled that the land should be returned to the sons of Radulfus. The land had been inherited in the meantime by Martinus Gelnus, who now restored it to the sons of Radulfus in the presence of Constance and the barones of Latakia. The sons of Radulfus have sold the land to the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, represented by frater Willelmus, who presides over the commandery [domus] of the Hospital in the principality of Antioch [in Antiochenis finibus]. Constance herself concedes whatever rights she has on the land and adds 2 carrucatae terrae in the Guastina Putei adjoining it. Witnesses: G.

They are bounded by the house of the vicecomes, by houses that once belonged to Stefanus de Nimen and Oliverius pater Carbonelli, by the Tutius vicus in which many things are sold and by the road that runs to the sea towards the house of dominus Rainoardus.
