Treaty of Sahagún (1170)

Treaty of Sahagún (1170)

The Treaty of Sahagún was signed in Sahagún in 1170 between Alfonso VIII of Castile and Afonso I of Portugal. Based on the terms of the accord, Alfonso VIII agreed to give Afonso I three hostages in order to be used as tribute payments owed by Ibn Mardanīš of Valencia and Murcia. The hostages were to enter into the hand and "potestas" (or power) of Afonso I up until the terms of the agreement were met. Moreover, the hostages were not allowed to depart without permission. [Kosto, p. 131. "In the Treaty of Sahagún in 1170, Alfonso VIII of Castile offered Alfons I three hostages for tribute payments owed by Ibn Mardanīš (Lobo) of València and Murcia; they were to enter into the hand and "potestas" of Alfons I until the terms of the agreement were met, and they were not to depart without permission."]
