Muggia

Faced with the might of the Venetian navy and the crusading army on their way to Constantinople, the people of Muggia ask forgiveness from Doge Enrico Dandolo for their past transgressions, and promise fealty to the doge and the Commune of Venice, guaranteeing the safety and duty-free trading for the Venetians throughout their jurisdictions, aid in combating piracy in the zone from Rovinj northward, a tribute of twenty-five amphorae of wine paid yearly on St. Martin’s feast day and transported to the ducal palace in Venice, and generally to perform all the duties promised by other Istrian communities.

Monfiorito of Pula pledges loyalty to the Aquileian Patriarch Gregory of Montelongo, promising to uphold the rights and honor of his Church, to reimburse all goods received from the patriarch and his people, to immediately and unconditionally withdraw from Motovun, and to appoint suitable sureties for the fulfillment of these commitments in form of sworn guarantors. This oath is subsequently reaffirmed in Muggia as Monfiorito, along with the representatives of the Commune of Pula, provides thirty-one persons as his sworn guarantors.

Aquileian Patriarch and Margrave of Istria and Carniola Gregory of Montelongo invests Henry of Pazin and his heirs, represented by Cono of Momjan, with several fiefs which included Lupoglav and the adjacent village Gorenja Vas in Istria.

By way of its elected representative, the Commune of Muggia swears to uphold its customary fealty to the doge and the Commune of Venice, in turn receiving from the Venetian representative the official standard of St. Mark.
