Treaty of Ramla
The Treaty of Jaffa (rare: Treaty of Ramla ) was a ceasefire agreement between the Ayyubid - Sultan Saladin and the English King Richard the Lionheart and was on 2. September 1192 in Ramla signed.
The conditions were that Jerusalem under Saracen / Muslim remained rule, the conquests Richards were on the coast at the same time Palestine confirmed - with the exception of the city of Ashkelon after razing was handed over to the fortifications of Saladin. The Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem was left with a stretch of coast from Tire to Jaffa . Unarmed Christian pilgrims now had free access to Jerusalem. In addition, the two rulers agreed on a three-year armistice . Richard left Palestine on October 9, 1192, ending the Third Crusade .
The illuminated manuscript Corpus Christi around 1240 reports on the peace agreement between Richard the Lionheart and Saladin.
