James II of Majorca

James II of Majorca, born on May thirty-first, one thousand two hundred forty-three, ascended to the throne as King of Majorca and Lord of Montpellier in the year one thousand two hundred seventy-six. His reign lasted until his death on May twenty-ninth, one thousand three hundred eleven, marking a significant period in the history of the region.

As the second son of James I of Aragon and Violant, the daughter of Andrew II of Hungary, James II was born into a lineage of power and influence. His royal heritage played a crucial role in shaping his political alliances and ambitions throughout his life.

In one thousand two hundred seventy-nine, James II's political landscape shifted dramatically when he became a vassal of the Crown of Aragon through the Treaty of Perpignan. This pivotal agreement not only altered his status but also set the stage for the complex relationships between the kingdoms of the time.
