Feb. 22. Acre. With the agreement of Guido Ioppensium et Ascalonitanorum comes and Sibilla his sister, Baldwin, per dei gratiam in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex sextus, records under seal that he confirms regie maiestatis auctoritate, his gift to comes Ioscelinus, his uncle and most beloved senescalcus, of Castellum Nouum, situated in the mountains of Acre, with its vineyards, olive groves, gardens, lands and villani, with the exception of the casale called Iazun, which the king retains. Baldwin gives Ioscelinus 2 annual rents of 500 besants each, drawn from the funda of Acre and the funda of Tyre respectively, to be paid according to the customs of the fundae of Acre and Tyre. Baldwin also confirms the gift of a feodum of 100 besants, drawn from the funda of Acre, and 4 carrucate terre in the territory of Caimont, which had been held by Iohannes Banerius and which Ioscelinus has given to his homo Garnerius Parisensis, who married the daughter of Iohannes Banerius, for the servicium of 1 serviens with 2 horses. Baldwin has made these gifts in exchange for castrum Sancti Helye, which the king had given earlier, Lubanum and Carrubia, which, with the hominium of Iohannes de Lumbres, ought to have reverted to Ioscelinus after the death of Maria, late queen of Jerusalem. Baldwin adds the gifts of Maronum, with its lordships and fiefs [tam in dominiis quam in feodis], and the hominium of Gaufredus Torti and of Sanctus Georgius and of all the land belonging to Sanctus Georgius. Ioscelinus will owe servicium to the king of 6 milites, over an above that owed by rear-vassals [exceptis feodatis].
