Based on the terms of the accord, Alfonso VIII agreed to give Afonso II three hostages in order to be used as tribute payments owed by Ibn Mardanīš of Valencia and Murcia. The hostages were to enter into the hand and "potestas" (or power) of Afonso I up until the terms of the agreement were met. Moreover, the hostages were not allowed to depart without permission.
