Overview
Around 1365 Ibn Khaldun was sent from Granada to Seville to conclude a peace treaty with Pedro I of Castile. 1
In Seville
He wrote that he saw there "the monuments of my ancestors." Pedro received him generously and offered him a post in his service and the return of his ancestral estates. Ibn Khaldun politely declined. 1
Why it matters
He later returned to Granada, but his enemies turned the chief minister against him, and he left again for North Africa. 1
