TheThirty Years' Truce orTruce of Khlat was atruce agreed to by QueenTamar of Georgia andAl-Adil I, anAyyubid Sultan of Egypt in October, 1210.

By 1208, theKingdom of Georgia challenged Ayyubid rule ineastern Anatolia and besiegedKhlat. In response Ayyubid Sultan al-Adil I assembled and personally led large Muslim army that included the emirs of Homs, Hama, and Baalbek as well as contingents from other Ayyubid principalities to supportal-Awhad. During the siege, Georgian general Ivane Mkhargrdzeli accidentally fell into the hands of the al-Awhad on the outskirts of Khlat and was released only after the Georgians agreed to a thirty-year truce on following terms:^[1]

• Georgia had to pay ransom of 100,000dinars;
• Georgia had to cede 27 castles;
• Georgia had to liberate 5000 muslim prisoners;
• Ivane had to promise the hand of his daughterTamta to his captor.^[2]

The truce ended the Georgian menace to Ayyubid Armenia.^[3] Georgia refrained from hostilities against enemy with whom Tamar the Great had signed a treaty, and the border or Christian-Muslim world was established. As the result Georgia abandoned its ambitions west of the riverAraxes.
