text: Jun. 18. Tyre. In the house of the archbishop of Tyre. Patriarch Albert of Antioch, the papal legate, records under his seal and under those of the magistri of the Orders, his arbitration in a number of disputes between frater Hermannus domus Templi magister and frater Garinus domus Hospitalis sancti Johannis magister, with the agreement of their brothers and under threat of a penalty of 1000 marchae argenti. The patriarch records how agreement was reached in the presence of the magistri, making use of a commission consisting of 3 Knights Templar and 3 brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. (1). The Knights Templar should also enter into the truce which the Hospital of St John has with the sultan of Aleppo in relation to Gabulum. The Knights Templar will receive half of the [revenues] gained as long as the truce lasts, although this will not apply to the lands the Hospital already hold on either side of the River of Belna. These will be respected by the Templars. (2). When the truce ends the Knights Templar should hold Gabulum and its land, paying the Hospital of St John 1100 Saracen besants annually in 2 instalments, at Christmas and on the Feast of the Nativity of St John the Baptist. (3). In order to defend Gabulum, the Knights Templar and their men will be free to come and go through the gate the Hospital has in the wall that stretches towards the sea near the port of Margatum, by sea, by the road, which runs between the cistern [barquile] and the ravine [ravina] that extends to the sea, and by all the roads nearby. (4). In relation to a truce made with Saona, neither the brothers of the Hospital nor the Knights Templar are held to assist one another if one of the Orders is at war with Saona. (5). The Hospitallers of St John are held to to assist the Knights Templar with costs when they are at war at Gabulum, as is contained in agreements made between frater Gaufridus de Donzon and frater Philippus de Pleseiç, the late magistri of the Hospital of St John and the Knights Templar. (6). Each Order will observe truces made by the other Order with the Saraceni with respect to Gabulum. (7). Should Gabulum come into Christian hands, this agreement will end and the city and its territories will be divided between the Knights Templar and the Hospital of St John in the proportions held by each before it was lost, in the same terms as was laid down in an arbitration undertaken by the late Cardinal Pelagius of Albano with respect to Maraclea.

Concerned for the safety of the Holy Land and after consulting the patriarchs of Constantinople, Antioch and Jerusalem and many other prelates, who were visiting the Holy See, and in the presence of Frederick, Romanorum imperator semper augustus, Ierusalem et Sicilie rex, he is sending the archbishop of Ravenna as papal legate to the East to enforce the peace between the emperor and the barones of Jerusalem and citizens of Acre negotiated by the patriarch of Antioch and the magister of the Hospital of St Mary of the Germans.

text: Nov. 22. Margatum. In the camera of the episcopus Valloniensis. Bartholomeus Valloniensis ecclesie minister humilis records under seal that Pope Gregory IX has appointed him judge delegate in the case that has arisen between the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem and Bohemond, prince of Antioch and count of Tripoli, over Maraclea and other injuries. Bohemond did not answer several summons by the bishop to appear in Antioch, nor did he provide adequate response. On a further peremptory summons, he sent to Tortosa [apud Anterandum] as his representative M. thesaurarius Anteradensis, who was not sufficiently provided with letters and denied the bishop’s authority in this case. The prince renewed the appeal [to the Holy See] he had already made in the presence of the patriarch of Antioch. Since the magister and brothers of the Hospital were demanding action, the bishop took advice in Acre and travelled to Margatum where he waited until 22 November for the prince to answer the case. He then judged that the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St John, who were represented by the procurators magister Robertus de Alvernia clericus domini archiepiscopi Nicosiensis and Robertus Pisanus judex, filius quondam Maregnani cancellarii, be put in possession and into provisional lordship [quasi dominium] of the castle of Maraclea. He called on the procurators to appear before him at Margatum on 15 January next to describe the injuries suffered by the Hospital at the hands of the prince.

Frater A. magister domus milicie Templi, together with his brothers, comes to an agreement with frater G. magister domus Hospitalis sancti Johannis Jerosolimitani and his brothers over the waters and mills of the flumen Acconensis, which flows down from the fons Recordane. The Knights Templar can retain the water above their mill, so that the water level can rise to a mark on the mill of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. If it rises above that mark, they must take action, but cannot be held to blame when there is rain or a flood. The Hospitallers of St John promise not to dam the river to the injury of the Templars. Both Orders have the right to sail, load and unload boats [barchae], bound for Acre, as far as the barrage at the Templar mill. The Hospitallers can have boats both above and below the barrage, but will be liable for any damage done to it by them. Neither Order should do anything to impede the passage of boats. The Knights Templar can raise the river banks to the height of the mark on the Hospitaller mill. Both Orders have had this record written and sealed, and have asked H. Nazarenus archiepiscopus, R. Acconensis episcopus and O. comestabalus regni Jerosolimitani to confirm it with their seals.Jul. 25. Acre.
