The Treaty of Cyrene
Recognising the needs of the peoples of Roman Mauretania to be governed according to their own laws and traditions, and also recognising the just reputation of Ala'i Fatimid, known in his own lands as the righteous Caliph and in all lands the ferocious slayer of Greeks, the Augustus Friedrich de Toulouse hereby accepts Ala'i Fatimid as his vassal, and grants him the fief of Mauretania as a kingdom. This kingdom to be passed on to his sons, and they to their own sons in the hereditary manner, so long as Ala'i Fatimid and his blood honour their feudal obligations to administer with justice all peoples of the book dwelling in the lands of Mauretania, to defend the weak, render hospitality when his liege travels to Mauretania, to aid his liege in time of war, and provide council. In view of Ala'i Fatimid's duties as Caliph and protector of the Saracen holy sites, the obligation of aid shall only apply to wars West of Cyrene. In view of Ala'i Fatimid's duel status as vassal king of Mauretania and sovereign Caliph, and with the aim of avoiding conflict between the duties of these offices, the Caliph Ala'i Fatimid and his descendants shall swear to not interfere with the affairs of the Emperors of Rome in Europa, though the king of Mauretania may, should his liege - the Emperor of Rome - invite him. To this both parties swear and charge their descendants to swear, on their immortal souls and on their love of the Lord God, and attest that any who breach this oath is a contemptible cur not worthy of the de Toulouse or Fatimid name who should be thrown out on the street to starve like a dog.
Signed on behalf of Augustus Friedrich I de Toulouse
