Treaty of Ramla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Ramla was signed by Saladin and Richard the Lionheart in June 1192 after the Battle of Arsuf. Based on the terms of the agreement, Jerusalem would remain under Muslim control. However, the city would be open to Christian pilgrimages. Also, the treaty reduced the Latin Kingdom to a geopolitical coastal strip that extended from Tyre to Jaffa. Saladin and King Richard were not fond of the overall accord but both were weak and needed to rest.
