April. 1-30. Acre. Responding to a complaint from men from Montpellier in Acre that an imperial ban on the ships [naves et vasselli] of Marseille sailing to Acre has made it impossible for Montpellier merchants, accustomed to travel in the ships of Marseille, to trade, Frederick, dei gratia Romanorum semper augustus, Ierusalem et Sicile rex, concedes under seal that in future men from Montpellier can bring their goods and merchandise in other ships and can enter and leave Acre through the cathena, paying what is due, as previously. Witnesses: Balyanus domnus Sydonis; Oddo de Montebelyardo comestabulus regni Ierosolimitani; Thomas comes Acerrarum balius ejusdem regni; Iohannes de Ybelino; Guarnerius Alemannus; Aymarus nepos fratris Aymari; and others.
