ABSTRACT

Qalawūn’s sultanate, no less humane and valiant than Baibars’, is notable in its relations with the remaining Christian states in Syria for a series of treaties between the Sultan and the Templars, the people of Acre and Margaret of Tyre, of which Ibn ‘Abd az-Zahir has preserved the text in his Life of the Sultan (Tashrīf al-ayyām wa l-‘usūr).
