treaty to him in Chapter 47. Young had Baybars sign the treaty on May 22, 1272. The main problem with the treaty in the novel, besides having Will leading the charge, was when the treaty took place.

Richard was born in England in 1452 and was notoriously known for ruling England for two chaotic years between 1483 and 1485.
