text: Jun. 29 - Dec. 18. In the county of Tripoli. To prevent the loss of the castles [castra] of Archas and Gibelacar, which have been destroyed by an earthquake, Amalric, dei gratia Ierosolimorum rex Latinorum quintus, Tripolitanum comitatum procurans, records under seal that he has given them to the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem and Gibertus venerabilis magister. The Hospitallers will restore them. Their possession of the castles, together with the servicia and hominium owed by homines in their domains, is guaranteed in the future. He gives the Hospitallers the right to enjoy the spoils of war gained from the Saraceni without any subtraction, unless he himself is present on campaign. If the count of Tripoli [Raymond III], who is a prisoner, should dispute these grants King Amalric will defend the Hospitallers. If the count is released from captivity King Amalric will ask him to confirm the gift. If he does not and the county reverts by hereditary right to the king, the grants will be confirmed and renewed. Amalric confirms all gifts previously made to the Order by the count and his predecessors.

comments: [126] The assise, prompted by a debate that followed the death of Henri le Buffle [Henricus Bubalus] leaving 3 daughters, was apparently decided on the advice on usage in France given by Count Stephen of Sancerre, named Stephen of Blois by Philip of Novara – understandably, since he was of the family of the counts of Champagne and Blois. Although the evidence for Stephen’s contribution dates from almost a century later, his word would have carried weight, first because he was offered the hand of Sibylla of Jerusalem by King Amalric and secondly because he brought to the East part of the proceeds of a tax imposed by King Louis VII of France for the needs of the Holy Land. He reached Palestine shortly before King Amalric came back from a visit to Constantinople in the late summer of 1171. He stayed for only a few months. William of Tyre, p. 947.
