text: Dec. 25 1168 – Dec. 24 1169. Hugo dominus Hibelini records that his late uncle dominus Rainerius made an eleemosynary grant to the leprosary of St Lazarus of Jerusalem, giving land in the territory of Ramla. But the men [homines] who were entrusted with drawing the boundaries of the land measured out more than Rainerius had ordered. After a long time, Hugo was notified and, with the agreement of his wife Agnes comitissa and his brothers dominus Baldoinus and dominus Barisanus, and with the advice of Bernardus Liddensis episcopus, and also to benefit the vow he has made to pilgrimage to St James [of Compostela], he makes a sealed eleemosynary grant to the brothers of St Lazarus, giving them the additional land, together with [the confirmation of a gift of] land made to them by domina Eva.

Eleemosynary grant

institution: Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem
text: Dec. 25 1168 - Dec. 24 1169. King Wladislas II of Bohemia records how in the first year of his reign he vowed to pilgrimage to Jerusalem. He joined the emperor Conrad in his expedition against the pagans, but was unable to complete the journey, although fired more and more by a desire to go to Jerusalem. When Raymundus, then magister Hospitalis Hierosolimitani, and other brothers heard of this, they sent Wladislas at once the keys to the castellum called Crat, situated on the borders with the pagans. The keys were delivered by frater Benedictus together with the offer to Wladislas that he and his companions should make use of Crat and its dependences as they wished. Knowing its good works, Wladislas makes an eleemosynary grant to the Hospital, giving it extensive properties in Bohemia. The witnesses are all from Bohemia.Dec. 25 1168 - Dec. 24 1169.

text: First half of 1170 (probably c. June). [122] Gibertus, domus [Hospitalis] sanctorum pauperum minister, with the agreement of all his brothers [universi collegii nostri] records under seal how dominus A. Hungrie, Dalmacie et Croacie dux [Bela III], who was intending to pilgrimage to Jerusalem with his wife, had transferred as an eleemosynary gift money worth 10000 gold besants to the Hospital and through his emissary Retchab and the Hospitaller brother Bernardus had asked the Order to buy lands, vineyards and casalia near Jerusalem, the produce of which would provide both for the duke and his wife in the Holy Land and after his death would provide for the poor in the Hospital. During his lifetime, if he and his wife resided elsewhere, the Hospital could enjoy the fruits. His heirs would have no rights to the properties, but should his sons wish to serve [famulari] the Hospital, the Order would provide them with horses and arms. Lands near Jerusalem were hard to find, but Gibertus and his brothers give the duke, not for money but out of love, castellum Emaus, Aqua Bella, Belveer and Saltus Muratus, all near Jerusalem with cultivated and uncultivated lands, vineyards, orchards [pomeria], woods, with wheat and barley, wine and fruits, and animals. The Hospital has also bought in the city of Acre a palatium, which belonged to the late Giraldus de Cuniculis and 4 houses belonging to Fulco Moneta, and outside the city an orchard [pomarium] and a casale 1 league [leuga] away for 11000 Saracen besants, drawn from the duke’s money. These properties will return annually 1100 besants. The duke and his wife will receive the income either from the 3 casalia near Jerusalem or from those in Acre, whichever is the greater. The Hospitallers do not yet have a charter of confirmation of the properties in and near Acre from King Amalric, who has travelled to Antioch, but they are confident of his agreement when he returns.
