Thanks for putting this up. My off the cuff reading is

Cum m[a]g[ist]ro d[omi]no Napuleono de Vrsinis cum permo d[omi]no de Vrsinis 
in hoc (?) die 6 maj
et ??? xxij svper 1469 (?)

Cum Comite Franco Sforcia

Cum Ser Lodouico de Canebrana die xxv Jan (?) 1445 ad Br (?) M (?)
et cum fratre antonio de anogio

If I am right about the first one, it is interesting that Napuleono was used 
as a name so long ago.
