I am searching online and there are many references to this being an historical fact, so perhaps it is true after all.

Here are two links that say it was not true.

Seems to be that it wasn't a singular truce but a series of small ones to help eradicate the wolf population. I'm not 100% confident believing it, but what do I know, I wasn't around then.
