comments: [201] The judgement, surviving only in inventories of the 16th and 18th centuries, has attracted some discussion. See for example Hiestand, PTJ 2 :295; Hamilton, The Latin Church, p. 81; Kedar, ‘The Patriarch Eracles’, p. 181; Edbury and Rowe, William of Tyre, p. 22 n. 33. So many questions arise that I am inclined to believe that it is, at least, very corrupted. William of Tyre probably died in 1184. The Hospitallers did not acquire Margat until – at the very earliest - late 1186. Why was a judgement relating to a diocese in the patriarchate of Antioch decided by judge delegates from the patriarchate of Jerusalem, in the presence of the patriarch of Jerusalem and dated by the regnal year of the king of Jerusalem?

He gives the castle [castrum] called Margat with all its lands and rights, including his dominationes and ligiantiae. In return, the magister, his successors and brothers will pay Bertrandus and his legitimate heirs 2200 Saracen besants each year, payable in the city of Tripoli by the castellan [castellanus] of Cractum in 4 instalments, namely 550 besants each at Easter, the Nativity of St John the Baptist, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross and Christmas. If Bertrandus should die without legitimate heirs, the Hospital will pay Bermunda, or another legitimate wife, 1200 besants each year, retaining the balance of 1000 besants as an alms gift. If on the death of Bertrandus there are heirs, the rent should be divided, with 1100 going to his wife for her lifetime and 1100 to his heirs. The 2200 Saracen besants will thereafter go totally to the heirs, but if the line should fail, the rent will revert as an alms-gift to the Hospital.

With the advice of Patriarch Aimery of Antioch and the agreement of his wife domina Sybilla Antiochie principissa, his sons the milites Raimundus and Boamundus, Count Raymond III of Tripoli, dominus Anterius Valenie episcopus and many clergy, milites and burgenses, Bohemond III, dei gratia princeps Antiochenus, the son of Prince Raymond, confirms under seal the masked eleemosynary grant of dominus Bertrandus Margati dominus, the son of the late dominus Rainaudus Masoerius, to the brothers of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, represented by frater Rogerius de Molinis ejusdem domus magister. Unable to bear any longer the expense of maintaining the castle [castellum] of Margatum and fearful that he can no longer hold it against enemies so close by, with the advice of Patriarch Aimery of Antioch and the agreement of Prince Bohemond, his wife domina Sibilla Antiochie principissa, his sons the milites Raimundus and Boamundus, Count Raymond III of Tripoli, dominus Anterius Valenie episcopus and many others - clerics, milites and burgenses - Bertrandus has given the city of Valenia, the castle [castellum] of Margatum and the castle [castellum] of Brahym, with villani, casalia and guastinae, together with the milites and men [homines] living there and holding fiefs [feodi et feodati], on the same terms as they were held by Bertrandus and his father Rainaudus. [Bohemond includes the charter of Bertrandus in full]. Bohemond excludes from the grant casale Assenem, which dominus Rainaldus gave him pro novesimo de se et hominibus suis; the houses of Bertrandus in Antioch, which he sold and gave away; an oven, which he gave to [the monks of] Jubinum; and the terra de Gereneis which the prince retains for himself, although he promises to give it to no other religious order than the Hospital and adds that if he should give it to a layman, it will be held in the Hospital’s lordship. Bohemond confirms the possession by the Hospital of the dependencies of the feodum Margati: Margatum, Cademois, Laycas,Malaicas/ Malaycas, Bokebeis, casale Belne, and in the principality of Antioch, casale Fassia with its guastinae and dependences by land and sea, casale Cimas, abbatia Montis Parlerii, the villa called Russa, casale Farangum, casale Coma, castellum Popos with its casale, casale Kaynon, casale Alus, abbatia S. Gregorii, which is in Montana Nigra with its casalia and guastinae, Rogia with its guastinae, casale Belmesyn, casale Besselemon, casale Luzin, cavea Belmys, casale Casnapor, casale Colcas, casale Corconai and Meunsarac which are in the mountains of Mons Parlerius, Potama and Pangeregan which are in the Vallis Russa, Andesin, abbatia de sancta Maria, casale Bodoleie, half of the casale called Gorrosie, casale Mastabe. Possession of these, with milites, homines and villani [feodi et feodati] and all rights is confirmed as an eleemosynary grant, to benefit especially the soul of Bohemond’s father Raymond. The Hospital of St John is to hold all this freed from any servitium. Bohemond confirms everything that dominus Rainaldus had in Antioch, including a bath house, and [the lordship of] all the milites of the castrum of Margatum with the servitii and feodi previously owed to dominus Rainaldus Masoerius and dominus Bertrandus. The Hospitallers may retain all loot taken from the enemy. They are not bound to observe truces made by Bohemond with the Saraceni. If they make truces with the enemies who are in the feudum of Bokebeis or are before Gabulum, Bohemond will observe them if notified. The Hospitallers are free to bring in or take out, sell or buy their goods throughout the whole of the principality without payment of any exaction, but if their homines sell or buy goods that are not the property of the Hospital, the accustomed duty [consuetudo] will be payable to the prince’s curia. If any of the prince’s subjects [homines], who are franci, give any burgesia, the Hospitallers may sell it after holding it for a year and a day, provided it is not a holding that owes servicium, but they cannot acquire any feudum held by a miles or cliens without the prince’s permission. If any of the prince’s villani, whether Saraceni or homines, enter the territories of Valenia or Margatum or other holdings, the Hospitallers should return them according to law and custom [iuxta assisiam et consuetudinem terre], but they may retain Christians and those who make peace with the prince. The prince will act similarly with respect to villani of the Hospital. In return for the prince’s alms-gift the magister and the brothers of the Hospital have given Bohemond out of charity 8000 Saracen besants and have given his sons Raimundus and Boemundus 1000 Saracen besants each.
