text: Feb. 15. Benevento. Pope Alexander III writes to P. prior sancti Sepulcri and the canons of the Holy Sepulchre. He has received P. and G. their brothers. P. will be returning to explain orally what the pope will have written to others. Alexander has particularly ordered the Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem not to refuse to pay tithes belonging to the Holy Sepulchre on lands in the diocese of Jerusalem they do not cultivate themselves or cultivate at their expense. They should also pay tithes on lands they do cultivate according to the terms agreed with the Holy Sepulchre. The Hospitallers are forbidden to build a new church in Jaffa without the consent of the patriarch and the canons of the Holy Sepulchre, especially as they already have a church there. Nor should they ignore any interdict that might be laid on the city of Jaffa.

P. and G. their brothers have told him that Patriarch Amalric of Jerusalem has exceeded his powers in intervening in the canons’ affairs. He has ordered the patriarch to allow the election by the community of any suitable and honest man to a canonry and he has forbidden him to impose canons on the community or dispose of prebends without its agreement, especially as there is a clear distinction between the endowments of the patriarchate and the canons.

year: 1170
initiator: Dominus A. Hungrie, Dalmacie et Croacie dux [Bela III]
recipient: Girbertus, master of the Hospital
institution: Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem
text: First half of 1170 (probably c. June). [122] Gibertus, domus [Hospitalis] sanctorum pauperum minister, with the agreement of all his brothers [universi collegii nostri] records under seal how dominus A. Hungrie, Dalmacie et Croacie dux [Bela III], who was intending to pilgrimage to Jerusalem with his wife, had transferred as an eleemosynary gift money worth 10000 gold besants to the Hospital and through his emissary Retchab and the Hospitaller brother Bernardus had asked the Order to buy lands, vineyards and casalia near Jerusalem, the produce of which would provide both for the duke and his wife in the Holy Land and after his death would provide for the poor in the Hospital. During his lifetime, if he and his wife resided elsewhere, the Hospital could enjoy the fruits. His heirs would have no rights to the properties, but should his sons wish to serve [famulari] the Hospital, the Order would provide them with horses and arms. Lands near Jerusalem were hard to find, but Gibertus and his brothers give the duke, not for money but out of love, castellum Emaus, Aqua Bella, Belveer and Saltus Muratus, all near Jerusalem with cultivated and uncultivated lands, vineyards, orchards [pomeria], woods, with wheat and barley, wine and fruits, and animals. The Hospital has also bought in the city of Acre a palatium, which belonged to the late Giraldus de Cuniculis and 4 houses belonging to Fulco Moneta, and outside the city an orchard [pomarium] and a casale 1 league [leuga] away for 11000 Saracen besants, drawn from the duke’s money. These properties will return annually 1100 besants. The duke and his wife will receive the income either from the 3 casalia near Jerusalem or from those in Acre, whichever is the greater. The Hospitallers do not yet have a charter of confirmation of the properties in and near Acre from King Amalric, who has travelled to Antioch, but they are confident of his agreement when he returns. Witnesses: frater Petrus de Crato clericorum magister et ecclesie custos; frater Guigo de Mahone preceptor Hospitalis; frater Castus thesaurarius; frater Piotus; frater Stephanus; frater Bernardus sacerdos et predicti negotii internuntius.
