Sancho of Aragon ( – March 1416) was an Aragonese ''infante'' (royal prince) and the grand master of the Order of Alcántara from 1409. Sancho was born around 1399/1400Joseph F. O'Callaghan, ''The Last Crusade in the West: Castile and the Conquest of Granada'' (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2014), pp. 54–55. or 1401.Vicente Ángel Álvarez Palenzuela"Aragón, Sancho de" ''Diccionario biográfico español'' (Real Academia de la Historia, 2018). He was the fourth son of Ferdinand of Trastámara, the future king of Aragon, and Eleanor of Alburquerque. Ferdinand envisaged his children as a powerful bloc of supporters and future co-rulers and made sure they received an education commensurate with their foreseen role. Ferdinand at first intended to have Sancho appointed archbishop of Toledo, following the death of Pedro Tenorio in 1399. This was strongly opposed by Pope Benedict XIII and Henry III of Castile. Ferdinand acquiesced in the appointment of Benedict's nephew, Pedro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Crown Of Aragon
The Crown of Aragon ( , ) an, Corona d'Aragón ; ca, Corona d'Aragó, , , ; es, Corona de Aragón ; la, Corona Aragonum . was a composite monarchy ruled by one king, originated by the dynastic union of the Kingdom of Aragon and the County of Barcelona and ended as a consequence of the War of the Spanish Succession. At the height of its power in the 14th and 15th centuries, the Crown of Aragon was a thalassocracy controlling a large portion of present-day eastern Spain, parts of what is now southern France, and a Mediterranean empire which included the Balearic Islands, Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, Malta, Southern Italy (from 1442) and parts of Greece (until 1388). The component realms of the Crown were not united politically except at the level of the king, who ruled over each autonomous polity according to its own laws, raising funds under each tax structure, dealing separately with each ''Corts'' or ''Cortes'', particularly the Kingdom of Aragon, the Principality of Catalonia, ...

Compromise Of Caspe
The 1412 Compromise of Caspe (''Compromís de Casp'' in Catalan) was an act and resolution of parliamentary representatives of the constituent realms of the Crown of Aragon (the Kingdom of Aragon, Kingdom of Valencia, and Principality of Catalonia), meeting in Caspe, to resolve the interregnum following the death of King Martin of Aragon in 1410 without a legitimate heir. Background The Aragonese succession laws at that time were based more on custom than any specific legislation, and even case law did not exist. All successions after the union of Catalonia with Aragon in 1137 had been to the eldest son, to the next younger brother, or to the only daughter. However, earlier successions indicated that agnates (males in the male line) of the Aragonese royal family had precedence over daughters and descendants of daughters; for example, Martin himself had succeeded over the daughters of his late elder brother, King John I. However, very distant agnates had lost out to the daught ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
