Five Istrian communities – Pula, Rovinj, Poreč, Novigrad and Umag – pledge their fealty to the doge of Venice and his successors, promising military support, a variety of symbolic tributes to St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice, and to the doges, guaranteeing the safety of all the Venetians in their jurisdictions and abolishing all the dues for Venetian traders.
The Commune of Novigrad elects Biaquin of Momjan and his heirs as their perpetual podestà, with the community promising to maintain this arrangement under penalty of one thousand marks of good silver and pledging all communal goods as security.
At the request of Bishop Bonacursius of Novigrad and the canons, Biaquin of Momjan, perpetual podestà of Novigrad, renounces all rights to the city’s rectorship, pledges, and charters he had obtained from the citizens, promising that neither he nor his heirs would ever claim such rights again under penalty of one thousand marks of silver to the commune.
