Thirteenth-century Canon law tolerated Jews and Muslims but denied status to heretics
Evidence
There is a tension between the association of Islam with heresy (in the Estoria de España and in many theological tracts and chronicles) and the attribution to Muslims of a subservient but tolerated legal status equivalent to that accorded to Jews—a status that thirteenth-century canon law accords to both Jews and Muslims but denies to heretics. — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 991
