recipient: Commune of Pisa
text: May 18. Acre. Amalric, per dei gratiam in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex quintus, makes a sealed grant to the commune of Pisa, in return for the good service it gave him during the siege of Alexandria. He gives a piece [petia] of land, above the port of Acre and next to the church of St Anne, on which to build a house and a church. In length, the land follows the road for 16 canne [in longitudine secus viam cannas XVI]. In width it stretches towards the port more than 1 canna beyond the rest of the houses of the port [in latitudine autem versus portum plus une canna quam relique domus portus]. The king also concedes to the Pisans the right to have a court [curia], to which all Pisans are answerable, with the exception of the king himself and those who are king’s homines and have permanent mansiones, revenues and immoveable possessions in the kingdom. These are justiciable by the king and his judges. Amalric gives the Pisan court the right to judge in all cases except homicide, killing [mortidatio], treason, theft, rape [raptus] and such misdemeanours [forisfactiones] that incur the judgements of dismemberment or death, which are royal prerogatives.

text: Mar. 8/27 1170 - Mar. 7/26 1171. [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.
