comments: [45] Kedar (‘Jerusalem’s Two Montes Gaudii’, pp. 3-19) argues convincingly that until 1187 a high point north of Jerusalem was associated with Montjoie and that it was only with the closure of the road through central Palestine in the 13th century that St Samuel attracted the epithet. He admits, however, that it is possible that there may have been two Montes Gaudii in the 12th century.

Baldwin, dei gratia rex Iherusalem Latinorum secundus, had made a sealed eleemosynary grant to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, represented by Wilelmus prior and the canons. He had given a casale called Cafermelech in the territory of Nablus with all its lands and villani, except for 2 villani who had been transferred by Romanus de Podio to the casale of Betheflori. In return the canons of the Holy Sepulchre had surrendered their claim on 200 besants, which they had from the revenues [redditus] of Nablus. At the canons’ request Baldwin now restores the 2 rustici with their progeny and heirs, to the Holy Sepulchre and Petrus eiusdem prior. He does this in the presence and with the agreement of [Fulk] comes Andegavensis and Milissende his daughter. In the presence of Patriarch William [of Malines] of Jerusalem he orders Amelinus, his cancellarius, to write the charter and attach his lead seal.
