text: Dec. 25 1150 – Sept. 23 1151. Melisende, dei gratia Iherosolimorum regina, confirms an exchange made in the reign of her husband King Fulk between Johannes Patricius and the canons of the Holy Sepulchre. This involved the 2 casalia of Megina and Mezera being exchanged for the 2 casalia of Caphermelich and Anquina. It had been approved in Melisende’s presence by Babinus, from whom Johannes held the casalia in feodum, by Petrosus, the brother-in-law of Johannes, by Bruna, the wife of Johannes, and by their sons Thomas and Eustachius, on condition that if any challenge to the exchange arose the canons of the Holy Sepulchre would be obliged to restore the casalia to Johannes and his heirs. A challenge was made in King Fulk’s reign and the Holy Sepulchre appealed to the crown. Melisende therefore confirms the exchange under seal.
