Answering the pleas of Aquileian Patriarch Berthold V, Emperor Frederick II decrees that throughout Friuli and Istria criminal justice administration and everything else pertaining to corporal punishments and coercion (merum et mixtum imperium) resides exclusively with the patriarch of Aquileia, threatening to deprive of their fiefs anyone who would dare to administer criminal justice on patriarchal territories.

Fridericus^a Dei gratia Romanorum imperator semper augustus, Ierusalem^b et Sicilie^c rex.

Per presens scriptum notum fieri volumus^d universis Imperii fidelibus, tam presentibus quam futuris, quod dilectus princeps noster Bertholdus^e venerabilis^f patriarcha Aquilegensis^g in nostra^h proposuit presencia constitutus, quod cum quidam in Foroiulioⁱ et in Istria^j existentes^k, qui a^l predecessoribus suis vel ab ipso per Aquilegensem ecclesiam infeudati^m sunt in mansis paucis vel pluribus, et quandoquidemⁿ obtinuerunt^o in eis^p advocatiam gratia^q conferentis, idem^r infeudati privatis eorum utilitatibus et suis proventibus non contenti, de furtis^s et aliis criminalibus^t causis et penis^u iudicium^v sanguinis inferentibus et de quibusdam que spectant ad merum et mixtum imperium, que omnia pertinent iurisdictioni^w eiusdem principis nostri ratione regalium, se^x auctoritate propria temere intromittant^y ex hoc tantum, sicut dicitur, quod mansos cum omni iure obtinent^z, ad iuris iniuriam^a' attemptantes^b'. Quare nostre celsitudini supplicavit^c' ut, cum hec omnia tam predecessores sui quam ipse auctoritate Imperii obtineant^d', dignaremur^e' temeritati repugnantium^f' obviare et iurisdictionem suam servari integre mandaremus^g'.

Cum igitur spectet^h' ad imperatoriam^i' maiestatem principum nostrorum iuri prospicere^j', attendentes^k' insuper immensam^l' devotionem predicti nostri principis, venerabilis patriarche, quem ad nostra et Imperii servicia semper et ubique paratum et expositum invenimus, ut in sua iurisdictione incomodum^m' vel iniuriam^n' non incurrat, predictam^o' abusivam consuetudinem ab eisdem infeudatis inventam vel hactenus approbatam penitus abolemus, presentis scripti auctoritate generaliter inhibentes quod nulli eorumdem infeudatorum in Foroiulio^p' vel in^q' Istria de cetero liceat occasione mansi sive^r' mansorum quos ab Aquilegensi ecclesia^s' feudaliter^t' obtinere noscuntur vel sub pretextu^u' advocatie vel occasione sumpta^v', quod mansos cum omni iure obtineant, cum verbum ipsum^w', silicet^x' cum omni iure privatas et anexas ipsis^y' mansis utilitates exponat, de criminalibus causis, furtis et^z' fustigationibus, vel consimilibus que ad iudicium^a'' sanguinis spectant^b'' vel merum et mixtum imperium sapiunt, cognoscere vel temere^c'' se intromittere sine predicti patriarche indulgentia vel mandato, sed tantum idem patriarcha et officiales sui, quos auctoritate ordinarie iurisdictionis loco et vice sua duxerit^d'' deputandos, predictam iurisdictionem exerceant^e'' sicut decet.

Si qui^f'' vero contra presentis nostre prohibitionis edictum^g'' venire presumpserit^h'' et in abusione solita^i'' temptaverit^j'' permanere, presumptores^k'' ipsos eisdem^l'' mansorum sive advocatie feudis^m'' ingratos decernimus et indignos maxime cum privilegium mereatur^n'' amittere^o'' qui concessa sibi abutitur potestate.

Ad cuius rei memoriam et^p'' stabilem firmitatem presens scriptum fieri et sigillo maiestatis nostre iussimus communiri^q''.

Feliciter, amen.

Opaske urednika

The oldest surviving copy dates to 1303 and it is a vidimus on the basis of the lost original (ms. B, digitally reproduced below).

However, there was once a vidimus made in 1262, also on the basis of the original, authenticated by three notaries. This 1262 vidimus is also considered lost, but it was used as a template for the copy in D. Based on ms. D, the heading of this 1262 vidimus is the following: Hoc est exemplum sumptum ex auctentico cuiusdam privilegii integri domini Federici Romanorum imperatoris sigillati eius sigillo cereo integro et ilęso, cuius tenor talis est, and the notarial attestations are the following: Ego Hermannus de Perticha imperiali auctoritate notarius ex mandato mihi facto per venerabilem patrem dominum Gregorium sancte sedis Aquilegensis patriarcham presens exemplum cum eius originali integro vidi, tenui ac fideliter auscultavi, ipsum verbo ad verbum, sicut in eo erat et legabatur, rescribens nihilque addens in eo quod sententiam variet sive sensum, sub anno Domini M^o CC^o LXII^o, indictione V, die decimo intrante februario in Austria Civitate in camera patriarchali. Ego Iohannes de Lupico Sacri Imperii publicus notarius vidi et cetera. Ego Conradus imperiali auctoritate notarius et cetera.

Editor's Apology:

In my article "King Otto IV's Donation of the Margraviate of Istria to the Patriarchate of Aquileia" published in 2022 in Historijski zbornik (available here), I have made an embarrassing error: although I originally stated correctly that the 1303 parchment contains the copies of Frederick II's confirmations of Berthold's regalian rights issued in 1232 and 1238 (the hereby edited charter), I have subsequently, in table 1 on page 20, erroneously equated the 10^th vidimus of 1303 parchment as "Frederick II’s promulgation and confirmation of the peace treaty signed between Patriarch Berthold and the Commune of Koper issued in 1238". This is not true; the 10^th vidimus of 1303 charter is the document hereby edited, whereas the 1238 confirmation of the treaty signed between Patriarch Berthold and the Commune of Koper is preserved in a different manuscript tradition *edited here as 1238_FBI).
