Talk:Treaty of Novgorod (1326)

Contradiction: 1250–1251 peace treaty vs. "next time a peace treaty was signed was in 1326"

The Background section contains two statements that directly contradict each other.

First, it states: "the first mention of an attempt to reach a mutual agreement is dated to 1250–1251, when Aleksandr Nevsky visited Haakon IV and concluded a peace treaty.

Then, immediately after quoting the saga's remark that the peace was not kept long, it states: "The next time a peace treaty was signed was in 1326.

These two claims are logically inconsistent within the article. If a peace treaty was concluded in 1250–1251, then 1326 cannot be described as the next time a peace treaty was signed without acknowledging that the 1250–1251 agreement was either not a formal treaty or did not count as one. The article uses both framings without reconciling them. The saga quotation explains the 1250–1251 peace broke down, but the article never explains why that agreement does not qualify as a signed peace treaty — making the claim that 1326 was "the next time" internally contradictory.
