Apr. 21-30. Acre. - Wishing to reward the Pisans for their fidelity and services, Frederick, dei gratia Romanorum imperator semper augustus, Ierusalem et Sicilie rex, records under seal that Malpillus, Pipinus and Buitus, the consules of the Pisans in Acre, have shown him evidence of the Pisan contribution to the preservation of the kingdom of Jerusalem. He therefore confirms the full liberty the Pisans enjoy in Acre to import and export horses and other mounts. No baiulus appointed by Frederick or his heirs is to make an special prohibition, unless it is one that is generally inposed. The Pisans are to enjoy all their rights in the kingdom of Jerusalem and Frederick orders his baiuli in Tyre and Jaffa to maintain the Pisans in all their rights and possessions.
