Charter book of Livonia, Estonia and Courland, volume 1, 1093 to 1300

The documents of the Livonian mission: Innocent III's bull of 5 October 1199 calling for a crusade to protect the Livonian church, the privileges for Bishop Albert, Archbishop Hartwig of Bremen's acts for the see of Üxküll, and the later charters that settle who held what on the Düna. For 1200 itself it has only a few pieces, but they are the legal basis of everything Henry describes.
