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.

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.

The entry to the street in the north is from the ruha palmariorum, facing the church of the Holy Sepulchre. It runs between the communities and then below houses of the Hospital of St John before exiting in the south in the ruha balneorum patriarche.

The abbey can build houses, as long as they are not higher than the foot of signs of the cross which are inscribed on the walls of the Hospital of St John. From the arch there is a space between the church of the Hospital and the houses of the nuns of St Mary which is to remain empty, with no building permitted. The nuns may not construct doorways or windows there. From the space down to the ruha balneorum patriarche the street is to be the property of the Hospital of St John, which can do whatever it likes in it. The water channels [conducti] are to be managed by both communities in the parts of the street for which they are responsible. The nuns should not engage in work on the wall of the church of the Hospital.
