Oct. 21. Acre. Guy, per dei gratiam in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex VIIIus, with the agreement of his wife the lady Sibylla, eiusdem regni venerabilis regina, confirms under seal for comes Ioscelinus his senescalcus all the properties and revenues [hereditates et redditus] and all pledges, purchases and acquisitions that King Baldwin IV confirmed in charters. Guy confirms the purchase by Ioscelinus from the crown for 5000 besants of the casale called Cabor with its villani, gastinae and lands, owing the servicium of 1 miles and of a house in Acre that is attached to the feudum of Chabor. He absolves Ioscelinus from the execution of the terms of the will of domna Agnes comitissa, Sibylla’s mother, which Ioscelinus has fulfilled. He concedes the freedom in relation to all the sugar-cane [zucarum] Ioscelinus has or ought to have at his casale of Lanahia, and freedom in relation to all the sugar and sugar extract [mella], so that he and his heirs can freely keep and sell them in Acre, bring them in and take them out, and purchasers can carry them away. He assures Ioscelinus that he can appoint whoever he wants to be guardian of his lands and daughters, should he die before his daughters reach maturity [ad annos nubiles], although servicium will be rendered to the crown.
