The Muslim leader who agreed to a truce with Richard the Lionheart was Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt and Syria. Their negotiations culminated in the Treaty of Jaffa in 1192, which allowed for a ceasefire during the Third Crusade. The agreement permitted Christian pilgrims access to Jerusalem while maintaining Muslim control over the city. This truce marked a significant moment in the conflict between the Crusaders and Muslim forces.
