institution: Holy Sepulchre
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. Signatories: Bertrandus comes; Poncius filius suus; A. episcopus Tripolis; P. archiepiscopus Femiᶒ; A. episcopus Biterrensis; Rogerius constabularius; Udalardus de Pontiano; Poncius de Grilione.
