text: Apr. 21-30. Acre. Frederick, de gratia Romanorum imperator semper augustus, Ierusalem et Sicilie rex, records that frater Hermannus magister domus sancte Marie Theotonicorum in Ierusalem and his brothers came into his presence and asked that he restore to them the terra Turonis, now held by the Sarraceni, because it had belonged to the comes Iozelinus, whose domain Frederick, with the agreement of his wife the empress Isabella, had conceded to them. Frederick had acceded to their request, but Alysa, the niece of the late Henfridus iuvenis, came to Frederick’s curia, proved that she had the right to the terra Turonis and asked the he order the land to be restored to her according to the judgement of the High Court [iuxta exguardum curie nostre]. Then the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans had produced a charter issued by King Guy of Jerusalem [of 21 October 1186], with the agreement of his consort Sybilla, in which Guy gave comes Iozcelinus and his heirs Toronum and Castrum Novum, together with Maron, Quabrinquen, Belide, Cades, Lahare, Mees and the 2 Megarae, on condition that if they were taken away by the judgement of the curia or if agreements between King Baldwin [IV] and Henfridus iuvenis were made [over] Maron, Henfridus iuvenis and his heirs would hold Turonum and Castrum Novum. The magister and brothers asked that they should enjoy the terms of the agreement, which specified that Henfridus iuvenis and his heirs would hold Turonum and Castrum Novum in exchange for an annual rent of 7000 Saracen besants and Maron and its dependencies, Quabrinquen, Belide, Cades, Lahare, Mees and the 2 Megarae. Frederick grants under seal what they have requested, stating that the rent should be divided equally between the cathena and funda of Acre, payable 4 times a year in instalments of 1750 Saracen besants.
