text: *†Apr. 28 – May 6. King Baldwin I grants the Genoese a third part of the cities of Acre and Tyre with jurisdictional immunity. (Mayer, UKJ 3:1470, no. App. II/9) *†Apr. 28 – May 6.

sources: Mayer, UKJ 3:1470, no. App. II/9 [14]
comments: [14] William of Tyre (pp. 486-7) wrote that the king promised the Genoese a third part of the revenues and the right to a vicus with full jursidiction in every city they helped conquer. A subject of debate is whether the promise was made or whether William had seen a Genoese forgery.

comments: [20] Mayer (loc. cit.) has led the way in questioning the authenticity of this inscription. Its leading supporter has been Kedar (loc. cit.), who has had the better of the argument in my opinion, although the reported wording of the inscription looks doubtful. See Pringle, The Churches 3:65-6.
