Comments: 
Note: The king of France’s departure for Caesarea resulted in the proposals being put on hold; although the decision was implemented in the cour des bourgeois, it was not implemented in the High Court until the time of Henry II. The reference to Louis IX at Caesarea leaves no doubt that 1251 is the correct date.
