comments: [201] The judgement, surviving only in inventories of the 16th and 18th centuries, has attracted some discussion. See for example Hiestand, PTJ 2 :295; Hamilton, The Latin Church, p. 81; Kedar, ‘The Patriarch Eracles’, p. 181; Edbury and Rowe, William of Tyre, p. 22 n. 33. So many questions arise that I am inclined to believe that it is, at least, very corrupted. William of Tyre probably died in 1184. The Hospitallers did not acquire Margat until – at the very earliest - late 1186. Why was a judgement relating to a diocese in the patriarchate of Antioch decided by judge delegates from the patriarchate of Jerusalem, in the presence of the patriarch of Jerusalem and dated by the regnal year of the king of Jerusalem?

text: Feb. 8. Lateran. Pope Innocent III rebukes the magister and brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem for resorting to force in their dispute with the Knights Templar over possessions in Margatum and Valenia, expressing disgust at Christians, especially those accustomed to fight Saraceni, taking up arms against one another. The Hospitaller brothers Disigius prior Baroli and Og[erius], preceptor Italie and the knights Templar [fratres militiae Templi] Petrus de Villaplana and Terricus have appeared before the pope, with testimony from peregrini and bishops from overseas. With the consent of the miles Seguinus, the pope judges that the possesssion should be returned to the Templars. But after holding it for a month they should then respond to the plea of Seguinus in the Hospitallers’ curia [at Margatum], to which should be assembled suitable men from the principality of Antioch and the county of Tripoli, who are acceptable to the Templars. The decision will be enforced by the patriarch of Antioch, the archbishop of Nazareth and the bishop of Valenia.
