Treaty of Ramla
- This article is probably a mistake. See Treaty of Jaffa
The Treaty of Ramla was signed by Saladin and Richard the Lionheart in June 1192[dubious ] after the Battle of Arsuf of September 1191. Under the terms of the agreement, Jerusalem would remain under Islamic 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. Neither Saladin nor King Richard were fond of the overall accord but had little other choice. The Islamic ruler had been weakened by the trials and expense of war and King Richard had to deal with threats to his kingdom at home.[citation needed]
