1192
Treaty of Jaffa
September 2, 1192
Exhausted, ill, and needing to return home, Richard I negotiated a three-year truce with Saladin. The Crusaders kept the coastal strip from Tyre to Jaffa; Jerusalem remained Muslim but unarmed Christian pilgrims could visit. Neither side considered it a permanent settlement. The treaty acknowledged a military stalemate that both commanders recognized but neither was willing to formalize as a lasting peace.
