The treaty ended the Sixth Crusade (1228–1229). The shrines of the Temple Mount remained in Muslim hands, but Christians were given access to them. On 17 March 1229 Frederick entered Jerusalem, and the next day, in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, he placed the crown on his own head. The city remained in Christian hands until 1244.
