Peter IV of Aragon

Peter IV of Aragon, known as El Cerimoniós, was born on September fifth, thirteen nineteen. His reign as king spanned from thirteen thirty-six until his death on January sixth, thirteen eighty-seven. He ruled over Aragon, Sardinia-Corsica, Valencia, and held the title of count of Barcelona. In a significant political move in thirteen forty-four, he deposed James III of Majorca, subsequently declaring himself King of Majorca.

Throughout his reign, Peter IV faced numerous challenges, primarily from the nobility and their persistent revolts. His efforts were focused on fortifying the crown against the Union of Aragon and other factions that sought to undermine his authority. This tumultuous period was marked by constant strife, both domestically and abroad.

Peter IV's military campaigns extended beyond his kingdom, engaging in conflicts in regions such as Sardinia, Sicily, the Mezzogiorno, Greece, and the Balearic Islands. His ambitions in Greece culminated in his acquisition of the titles Duke of Athens and Neopatria in the year thirteen eighty-one, further expanding his influence and legacy.
