ALFONSO III OF ARAGON AND II OF CATALONIA. - B. in 1265, d. in 1291. He succeeded Peter III (II) in 1282 in difficult circumstances brought about by the Angevin-Aragonese rivalry for the possession of Sicily, complicated by the enmity of the Holy See. Favoring the French, Pope Martin IV in 1283 had declared Peter III deposed and made a donation of his states to Charles of Valois. Given the difficult internal situation and the hostility of Navarre and Castile, A. in 1291 made peace with the Pope and France on rather onerous terms: he declared himself a vassal of the Pope, binding himself to pay an annual tribute and abandoning the cause of Sicily, held by his brother James. He also had to make concessions to the Aragonese nobility, which had rebelled against him as soon as he ascended the throne.
