Treaty of Jaffa
- Not to be confused with the 1229 Treaty of Jaffa and Tell Ajul, ending the Sixth Crusade
The Treaty of Jaffa was an agreement during the Crusades. It was signed on 2 September 1192 between the Muslim ruler Saladin and Richard I of England, shortly after the July–August 1192 Battle of Jaffa. The treaty guaranteed a three-year truce between the two armies.
The treaty guaranteed safe passage of Christians and Muslims through Palestine whilst also stating that the Christians would hold the coast from Tyre to Jaffa. However Ascalon's fortifications were to be demolished and the town returned to Saladin.
Richard left Acre on 9 October 1192.
In 1229 a somewhat similar treaty was signed, also in Jaffa, by Emperor Frederick II, leader of the Sixth Crusade, and Sultan Al-Kamil of Egypt.[1]
