Timeline

  1. 1370Seville–Granada frontier · Al-AndalusWhile en route to Seville, Henry II learned that the orders of Santiago and Calatrava had already made peace with Granada, and so signed an eight-year truce with Muhammad V through the mediation of chancellor Ibn al-Khatib. Granada promised to pay tribute, while Henry II postponed large-scale southern campaigns to stabilize the southern frontier.
  2. 1375–1380Murcia–Granada frontier · MurciaCross-border raids continued during the truce, and in 1375 Murcia and other places requested stronger defenses. On June 1, 1378 the two sides renewed a two-year treaty, with Muhammad V writing to Henry II promising to pay five thousand doubloons in tribute each year. The treaty was valid until June 1, 1380, providing a relatively stable environment for Henry II's southern frontier in his late reign.
