text: Jun./Jul. 1109 – Nov. 30 1110. Bertrand, inclitus comes [Tripolitanus], son of Raymond of St Gilles, had made an eleemosynary grant, to benefit the soul of his relation William Jordan [count of Cerdagne], in the presence of King Baldwin I of Jerusalem, the archiepiscopus Albariensis and Arnulfus archidiaconus and other good men. He had made this to the church of the Holy Sepulchre which is situated in the castle [castrum] of Mont Pèlerin and was represented by Johannes, who was prior of the same church. Bertrand had given 3 casalia: Abdin/Addin, Babela/Habela, and Beniharan/Beniaran, but he had unjustly taken the casalia back into his hands. When Arnaldus, elected prior of the church on Mont Pèlerin by the chapter of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, demanded the return of the casalia, Bertrand, together with his son Pontius acknowledged his guilt. By an eleemosynary grant he returns them to the church. He confirms the gifts made to the church of the Holy Sepulchre on Mont Pèlerin by his father, Count Raymond of St Gilles, and his cousin William Jordan and in addition gives Arnaldus prior a good horse and the best mule that can be found. If Bertrand or Pontius fail in this commitment they will be subjected to excommunication by the patriarch of Jerusalem, the bishop of Tripoli, the archbishop of Apamea [Femia] and the bishop of Béziers.

Dispute/arbitration

year: 1111

recipient: Bishop of Nazareth and the abbot of Mount Tabor
institution: Mount Tabor
text: Sept. 24 – c. Nov. 10 [1112]. Gibelin, episcopus ad orientales ecclesias ab apostolica sede directus, arbitrates, with the advice of the bishops, abbots and Arnulfus Iherosolimitani archydiaconus, and with the assent and at the petition of Baldwin, domnus gloriosissimus rex and his leading subjects, in a dispute between the bishop of Nazareth and the abbot of Mt Tabor over ecclesiastical dignities. The right to ordain the abbots and monks and consecrate the greater church on Mt Tabor will belong for ever to the patriarch of Jerusalem. Other episcopal rights – such as the consecration of chrism and oil and the making of parochial appointments [parrochyalem vicarium] – pertain to the bishop of Nazareth. A third part of all tithes of the region of Tiberias – as much from the knights [de militia] as from land and fodder – will, with the agreement of the bishop and his clergy, be enjoyed by the church of Mt Tabor in perpetuity in order to feed the monks. If the monks should acquire the lands held at present by pilgrim knights [peregrini milites], two-thirds of the tithes are to go to the bishop, a third to the monks. Signatories: G, episcopus apostolicᶒ sedis legatus with seal; domnus rex B[alduinus] with seal; Arnulfus archidiaconus; Ebremarus Cesariensis archiepiscopus; Rogerius Ramathensis episcopus; Bernardus Nazareni episcopus; Balduinus, electus Baruti.Sept. 24 – c.
