Apr. 14 - Jun. 30. Jerusalem. In the church of the Holy Sepulchre. Baldwin, secundus dei gratia rex Iherusalem/dei gratia secundus Latinorum rex Iherosolimitanus, responding to the request of Patriarch Warmund and the clergy and people of Jerusalem, and with the assent of his optimates makes a sealed eleemosynary grant, remitting the customs duty [consuetudines] which has been exacted at the gate of the city from those bringing in grain, hay and vegetables, because this has caused hardship to both pilgrims visiting the Holy Sepulchre and the residents of the city. Baldwin absolves from any exaction all those, whether Muslim [Sarraceni] or Christian, who bring grain or hay, beans, lentils and chickpeas through the gates of Jerusalem. They are to have the freedom to enter and leave and to sell where and to whomsoever they want. Baldwin also remits half of (other) customs duties (consuetudinaria).
