  • Agustín Ubieto Arteta, Documentos de Sigena, 1 (Valencia, 1972); these documents have been used by Luis García-Guijarro Ramos in a forthcoming study of Sigena’s early years.
  • Joseph Delaville le Roulx (Les Hospitaliers en Terre Sainte et à Chypre: 1100–1310 (Paris, 1904), p. 101) proposes Asp in the Vivarais near Valence or Aspe in Biscay.
  • Cart Hosp, nos. 586–88; María Luisa Ledesma Rubio, La Encomienda de Zaragoza de la Orden de San Juan de Jerusalén en los siglos XII y XIII (Zaragoza, 1967), pp. 230–31, 234–35.
  • Cart Hosp, no. 677. Ermengol was prior of Saint-Gilles from 1182 to May 1188: Cart Hosp, nos. 619, 677, 781, 818, 820, 822, 829, 835; Cartulaire du Prieuré de Saint-Gilles de l’Hôpital de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem: 1129–1210, ed. Daniel Le Blevec and Alain Venturini (Paris, 1997), nos. 274, 290, 313–16, 318, 320, 369. The Aragonese Eximénez de Lavata was commander of Huesca in 1198, castellan of Amposta in 1201–05, prior of Saint-Gilles in 1205, grand commander in Spain in 1208–10 and grand commander in the West in 1208: Cart Hosp, nos. 1014, 1150, 1228, 1319, 1357; Libro de Privilegios de la Orden de San Juan de Jerusalén en Castilla y León (Siglos XII–XV), ed. Carlos de Martínez Ayala et al. (Madrid, 1995), pp. 380–83, 385.
  • Riley-Smith, The Knights of St. John, pp. 353–57.
  • Cart Hosp, nos. 181, 220, 364, 541.
  • Cart Hosp, no. 829. According to Jean Raybaud, Histoire des Grands Prieurs et du Prieuré de Saint-Gilles, 1 (Nîmes, 1904), p. 92, Ermengol was at Trinquetaille (Arles) in September 1187 but it seems that the date was 7 March 1187 at Saint-Gilles; Cartulaire du Prieuré de Saint-Gilles, pp. 260–61.
  • Cart Hosp, no. 835. In 1178 Odin, prior of Saint-Gilles, held a chapter at Cerisiers, the prior of England being a witness: Cart Hosp, no. 528. There was a prior of France in 1181/2: Cart Hosp, no. 627.
  • Ermengol de Aspa, prior of Saint-Gilles, and García de Lisa, magister of Amposta, were with Alfonso II at the siege of Roda in November 1186: Jesús Alturo i Perucho, Diplomatari d’Alguaire i del seu monastir santjoanista, de 1076 a 1244 (Barcelona, 1999), no. 55.
  • Four texts in Louis Méry and F. Guindon, Histoire analytique et chronologique des Actes et des Délibérations du Corps et du Conseil de la municipalité de Marseilles, 1 (Marseilles, 1842), pp. 100–102; Giuseppe Müller, Documenti sulle relazioni delle città toscane coll’Oriente cristiano e coi Turchi fino all’anno MDXXXI (Florence, 1879), pp. 26–31. A version of one of these four texts given in Ferdinando Ughelli, Italia Sacra, 3 (Venice, 1718), pp. 415–17, omitted the Hospitaller witnesses, including Ermengol.
  • Delaville le Roulx, Hospitaliers en Terre Sainte, pp. 99–104.
  • Müller, Documenti, pp. 34–35. Delaville le Roulx, Hospitaliers en Terre Sainte, p. 102, shows that other references to a master during 1188 are unreliable.
  • Cart Hosp, no. 860 [giving October 1188 and Indiction VI instead of Indiction VII]. Delaville le Roulx, Hospitaliers en Terre Sainte, p. 102, argues that the copyist must have seen the name Heremenga.
  • RRH, no. 678.
  • [Comte] Chandon de Brialles, “Bulles de l’Orient Latin,” Syria 27 (1950), 296; pl. xiv(17). This seal may have been the sigillum domus of 1188 and was perhaps the master’s leaden seal, since the conventual seal is not known before 1221 or 1239: Riley-Smith, The Knights of St. John, pp. 278–79, 295.

  • Cart Hosp, nos. 663, 693, 803, 919, 941.
  • Libro de Privilegios, pp. 354–55; the Castilian king addressed another donation to Ermengol as castellan on 1 December 1190: Cart Hosp, no. 902.
  • Cart Hosp, no. 908 [summary]. On 26 May 1188 and in June 1195 the castellan was García de Lisa; on 3 June 1188, in May 1189, on 7 March 1190 (but not on 3 May 1190), in April and October 1192, and in 1193 the castellan was Fortún Cabeça: Cart Hosp, nos. 918, 949 [with incorrect summary]; Alturo i Perucho, Diplomatari d’Alguaire, nos. 61–62, 66, 69, 73, 78; Carlos Laliena Corbera, “Documentos de Ordenes Militares en Barbastro,” in Annales número monográfico: 850 Aniversario acuerdo de esponsales entre Petronila de Aragón y Ramón Berenguer IV de Barcelona: 1137–1987 (2nd ed., Barbastro, 2002), nos. 8–9, 12.

  • As Riley-Smith (The Knights of St. John, p. 107) suggests, noting that Jean de Joinville later used the title of prevoz for a Lieutenant Master: Histoire de Saint Louis par Jean Sire de Joinvillle, ed. Natalis de Wailly (Paris, 1868), p. 87.

  • Cart Hosp, no. 902. Ermengol possibly returned to the West and again became castellan perhaps somewhat earlier than late 1190, since a donation of 3 May 1190 addressed to Fortún Cabeza gave the latter no title, though he had been castellan on 7 March 1190: Alturo i Perucho, Diplomatari d’Alguaire, nos. 69–70.
