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.
