Dec. 1-24. Raymond III Tripolis comes, son of Count Raymond II and Hodierna comitissa, makes a sealed eleemosynary grant in return for the aid given by Josbertus Hospitalis Iherusalem magister, frater Arnaudus Lombardus and other brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in securing his release from captivity and the help they have always given him. He confirms all the gifts made by his predecessors and his father Count Raymond II. He adds to them the surrender of the half of all spoil taken from the Sarraceni, which attached to his father’s standard [vexillum] and which his father had retained.
