Heraclius and Muhammad

A ten-year truce:

Four years later, in 628 CE, a ten-year truce known as the Treaty of Hudaybiya was signed between the Muslims and the Meccan leadership. This pause in domestic conflict opened a window for international diplomacy. Seizing this period of peace, the Prophet dispatched letters to the great monarchs of the age, most notably Heraclius of Byzantium and Khosrow II of Persia.
