[125] Bohemond III, the son of Prince Raymond, Dei gratia princeps Antiochenus, with the agreement of his wife domina Orgollosa principissa, confirms under seal for the church of St Mary, the archbishop, consuls, senators and members of the commune of Pisa and its province residing in his principality land to build a house in the port of Latakia.

If the Pisans by the judgement of court [iudicium curie] can recover the land in the port occupied by Hugo Embriacus, the son of Willelmus, the land now given will revert to the prince. Bohemond gives in addition a house in the city of Antioch that belonged to dominus Odo de Tyro. He assures the Pisans of the security of their persons and goods in case of shipwreck and of the property of those who should die, except when they are intestate. He remits half of all taxes [medietas totius iuris] customarily paid on entry and departure, coming and returning, buying and selling, throughout his territory and he assures them of his protection. Disputes between them can be settled in their own court [curia], but if a case cannot be decided, or involves theft, predation, homicide or the subjects of Antioch, it will decided in the prince’s court.

text: Dec 25 1170 - Aug 31 1171. In the presence of Patriarch Amalric of Jerusalem, at the mediation of Heraclius archidiaconus Hierosolymitanus and magister Monachus domni patriarche cancellarius, and with the consent of both their chapters, Bernardus Liddensis episcopus and Petrus Dominici Sepulcri prior come to an agreement. Bernardus gives the canons of the Holy Sepulchre half of the tithes taken on harvests, wine, oil, beasts, fowl and other things in a casale called Bermenayn. Petrus concedes to the church and bishop of Lydda half of all the tithes of harvests of the 4 casalia, referred to in a charter of gift from Rogerius quondam Liddensis episcopus, of Capharuth, Git, Kephrecylta and Porfilia. Of these, the first 2 were given and the others exchanged. Exempted from the payment of tithes of all 5 casalia will be fodder for beasts and feeding for fowls, but half tithes will be paid on the products of the canons’ own labour. Bernardus, with the consent of his chapter, gives the canons of the holy Sepulchre the right to churches and the building of new ones in the 5 casalia, with full parochial rights, although the priests [sacerdotes] appointed by the canons should be obedient to the bishop, who retains the right to summon them to a synod, to bless the chrism and oils they need, to consecrate altars and ordain clergy, and to impose interdicts and excommunications.

comments: [126] The assise, prompted by a debate that followed the death of Henri le Buffle [Henricus Bubalus] leaving 3 daughters, was apparently decided on the advice on usage in France given by Count Stephen of Sancerre, named Stephen of Blois by Philip of Novara – understandably, since he was of the family of the counts of Champagne and Blois. Although the evidence for Stephen’s contribution dates from almost a century later, his word would have carried weight, first because he was offered the hand of Sibylla of Jerusalem by King Amalric and secondly because he brought to the East part of the proceeds of a tax imposed by King Louis VII of France for the needs of the Holy Land. He reached Palestine shortly before King Amalric came back from a visit to Constantinople in the late summer of 1171. He stayed for only a few months. William of Tyre, p. 947.
