# Chronicle-based accounts record the 1192 Jaffa truce with Richard as a costly stalemate

Date: 1898

## The fact

Standard accounts record that after Acre, Arsuf, and Jaffa, Saladin and Richard I agreed the 1192 Treaty of Jaffa: coastal crusader footholds, Muslim Jerusalem, pilgrimage access. The dated public carrier is modern narration of that costly stalemate. It is not a peace of friendship.

## Context

Two exhausted armies bargained. Pilgrims gained a corridor; many others had already died. Stored as a mixed campaign outcome on the worsening humanitarian side of the war’s cost, with access terms not deleting the dead.

[Saladin](/people/saladin) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official heritage, encyclopedia, or edition pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

## Significance

A truce is not UN peacekeeping. Do not write that Scott’s Richard and Saladin dined it into being.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access). The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
