Correspondence/envoy
2102
year: 1229
initiator: Emperor Frederick II
recipient: Pope Gregory IX
text: Mar. 18. Jerusalem. Frederick, Dei gratia Romanorum imperator semper augustus Ierusalem et Sicilie rex, writes to Pope Gregory IX, copying the letter for general circulation, including a copy sent to the king of England. He praises God for his achievements in the Holy Land. He describes, in the same terms as the magister of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans, how he reached Jaffa on 15 November to refortify its castle and prepare for an advance on Jerusalem. He was hindered by a lack of pack animals [equitaturi] and by bad weather that was preventing provisioning by sea, although eventually the weather eased. While work continued on the fortifications, messengers passed between the emperor and the sultan of Egypt, who was camping at Gaza with his brother Scharaph, while the sultan of Damascus was established at Nablus. The sultan of Egypt restored Jerusalem to the emperor, with all the land descending down to Jaffa, except only for the Templum Domini, which would be open to Muslims wishing to pray there, alhough they must visit without weapons. He also restored Bethlehem with the land between it and Jerusalem; Nazareth with the land between it and Acre; all the terra Toronis; and the city of Sidon, the port of which had been a transit between Damascus and Egypt. The Christians can refortify Jerusalem, Jaffa, Sidon, Caesarea and the castle belonging to the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans in the mountains of Acre. The sultan promises not to refortify castles or build new ones until the end of the truce, which will last for 10 years. The truce was confirmed by oath on 18 February. On the advice of the patriarch of Jerusalem and the magistri and brothers of the [military orders], the emperor will inform the pope personally when he returns to Europe. Meanwhile he entered Jerusalem on 17 March, wore his crown and gave orders for the rebuilding of the city, which he proposes to refortify. The sultan will return all Christian prisoners, including those taken at Damietta. Mar. 18. Jerusalem.

text: Apr. 20-30. Acre. Frederick, dei gratia Romanorum imperator semper augustus, Ierusalem et Sicilie rex, records that, being resident in his palatium in Acre, frater Hermannus magister domus sancte Marie Theutonicorum in Ierusalem and Iacobus de Amigdala came to his curia and in the presence of the homines of the kingdom of Jerusalem asked him to confirm the agreement made between them, in which Iacobus gave over all the land, held in fief, which he had inherited from his mother, the daughter of the late comes Iozcelinus, for a rent of 6400 Saracen besants, assigned on the cathena and funda of Acre, or on other rents in Acre, which had been given by Frederick to the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans. The casalia of the fief are: Mebilie, given to Iacobus by the Order in exchange for Trefile and castrum novum, called Montfort, which the Order has fortified in the territory of Trefile, and for a garden and a mill that are dependencies of Trefile, Ialim, Tarbuca, Terbasta, Suru, Biaueer, Camessera, Tetramme, Fenes, Tercia, Gianot with a dependent gastina called Hemelie, Get, Cabbera with a gastina called Camelie, Iunite, Blutun and Castellum Regis.

Iacobus and his heirs will receive the rent from the revenues of the cathena and funda of Acre, payable in 4 instalments of 1600 besants. If the rent should fail magister Hermannus and his successors and the Order are held to pay Iacobus and his heirs 3200 Saracen besants within 6 months or they will restore all the land to Iacobus. If the 3200 besants are not paid within 20 days the Order will pledge 3 casalia of Arkat, Saffet and Encre. If at the end of six months the debt is still not paid, Iacobus and his heirs can dispose of these 3 casalia as they wish. Frederick confirms under seal the exchange in his curia, in the presence of his fideles.
