recipient: Adelicia Laodicie principissa; sons of Radulfus Boerius
institution: Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem
text: 1151 [64]. Latakia. In the palatium. Constance, Dei gracia Antiochenorum principissa, records that Adelicia Laodicie principissa, who had unjustly seized the land of the sons of Radulfus Boerius and had granted it to Guarnerius de Burgo, had recognized her fault in the presence of Geraldus Laodicensis episcopus and other good men and had ruled that the land should be returned to the sons of Radulfus. The land had been inherited in the meantime by Martinus Gelnus, who now restored it to the sons of Radulfus in the presence of Constance and the barones of Latakia. The sons of Radulfus have sold the land to the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, represented by frater Willelmus, who presides over the commandery [domus] of the Hospital in the principality of Antioch [in Antiochenis finibus]. Constance herself concedes whatever rights she has on the land and adds 2 carrucatae terrae in the Guastina Putei adjoining it. Witnesses: G. Laudicensis episcopus; Ugo de Bolerii; Theobaldus de Corith; Willelmus de Cursavalle; Rogerius de Loges; Ivo de S. Galeri; Willelmus Tyberiadis; Gislabertus de Mesi; Assetus Dux.

text: Jan. 1-31. Gaufredus de Donjon sancte domus Hospitalis Christi pauperum magister Hospitalis with the unanimous assent of all the Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, including the chapter, makes a sealed grant, restoring to the church of Valenia [ecclesia Valaniensis] and its bishop Anterius the right to take all those tithes of the lordship of Margattum that it was accustomed to enjoy in the time of the late dominus Rainaldus, with some exceptions. The church will have full tithes from casalia and their produce, carragia and rents; half tithes on the returns of poultry, eggs and cheese; whole tithes on the returns from the funda, platea, dyeworks and other revenues of Margatum. Full tithes will also be paid on the revenues of mills, except for the Order’s milling; half tithes on produce sold from gardens in which the Order has worked with its own labour and and at its own expense, but if any garden be rented out, full tithes will be paid. Half tithes will be paid on oil, but if the olive groves are rented out whole tithes will be due. Half tithes will be paid on carrucae and vineyards worked directly by the Hospital. Whole tithes will be due from the port, as in the days of lord Rainald, on grape juice [must] and wine, sumach, almonds and figs, jars, pots and pitchers. 15 Antiochene besants a year will be paid in place of tithes on the oven, unless it needs to be repaired, when tithes will be reduced while it is out of use. On five feasts - Easter, Pentecost, the Nativity of St John the Baptist, the Assumption of St Mary and All Saints - the Suriani and Armeni outside the town [suburbii], who have donkeys, will bring 10 somae of myrtle [mirtus] to the church of Valenia, which will enjoy freedom in all things as in the days of dominus Reinaldus.
