Treaty of Tortosa

The Treaty of Tortosa, signed in 1170, was an agreement between the Christian Kingdom of Aragon and the Muslim taifa of Granada during the Reconquista. It allowed the Moors to retain control over Granada in exchange for acknowledging Aragonese sovereignty and paying tribute. The treaty aimed to establish peace and define borders between the two powers, reflecting a pragmatic approach to coexistence. It is significant as an example of how medieval Christian and Muslim-held territories negotiated peaceful arrangements amid ongoing conflicts in Iberia.
