Record of an agreement made between Maria de Sancto Lazaro, the wife of Rogerius, a cliens of the Holy Sepulchre, and Bernardus, the brother of Petrus prior Sancti Sepulcri and a cliens of the patriarch. Maria had wedded her daughter to Bernardus in the presence of the chapter of the Holy Sepulchre. Her first husband Petrus had presented the daughter with a dowry of 100 besants and had invested her with the usufruct of a vineyard that he had planted. Petrus also left Bernardus a fourth part of a house situated in Jerusalem in the platea Templi next to the house of Bentulinus, to be held after his death. Another part was left to his son, although it would pass to Bernardus if the son died. Maria challenged the gift of the house. The case was heard in the chapter of the Holy Sepulchre in the presence of patriarcha Willelmus; Petrus subprior; of the canons of the Holy Sepulchre, Anselmus cantor; Goffridus thesaurarius; magister Robertus; and in the presence of Anschetinus, quondam vicecomes Hierosolymitanus; Rainaldus de Pontibus; Goiffridus Acu. They judged that Bernardus should have the fourth part of the house acquired by Maria and her second husband Rogerius after their death; similarly another fourth part should pass to Bernardus after the death of Maria’s son.
