Frater Gaufridus, domus Hospitalis Ierusalem humilis magister et Christi pauperum servus, describes for King Sancho VII of Navarre an earthquake that caused massive destruction on 20 May. The towers, royal palace and walls of Acre were partly demolished, and countless houses are in ruins. The walls, towers, churches and houses in Tyre are so wrecked that they are unlikely to be restored in present lifetimes. There have been countless deaths. The walls and houses of Tripoli are damaged. The towers, walls, houses and fortifications of Archay are overturned and the place is not habitable. The Hospitaller castles [castra] of Cratum and Margatum need restoration. Antioch and parts of Armenia have not been so badly affected, but there has also been a disease spreading among animals and the crops have been ruined by the weather.

text: June 1-30. Frater Philippus de Plessis, pauperum militię Templi magister humilis, describes for the abbot of Cîteaux events in the Latin East. He with 100 milites spent the period from Martinmas to Pentecost on the marches of the land of Tripoli beween Castrum Album and Haman. Sephedinus with his whole army journeyed from Egypt, Jerusalem and Damascus to beyond the river Euphrates and came to an agreement with his nephew the lord of Aleppo. This threatens the Christian settlers, and peasants [agricolę] have deserted the Templars’ lands and casalia. Bad weather has ruined the crops. An earthquake on 20 May caused great destruction, knocking down a large part of Acre and killing countless people, although the Templar houses were saved. All the towers around Tyre except 3 and the walls; barbacans and houses are wrecked. Most of Tripoli is destroyed, as is the castle of Archados, the foundations of the castrum Arsum and most of the walls of Castrum Album, including the great tower, which the Templars believed to be unrivalled. The city of Tortosa and the Templar castle there were spared. A pestilence followed the earthquake. Philippus asks for the abbot’s prayers, reminding him how the Knights Templar grew from the Cistercian Order. The Templars in the East have received with pleasure frater Artaudus and frater Bernardus de Borth with their companions.
