European kingdoms over control of <a href="/wiki/Sicily" title="Sicily">Sicily</a> from 1282 to 1302. The war, which started with the revolt of the <a href="/wiki/Sicilian_Vespers" title="Sicilian Vespers">Sicilian Vespers</a>, was fought over competing dynastic claims to the throne of Sicily and grew to involve the <a href="/wiki/Crown_of_Aragon" title="Crown of Aragon">Crown of Aragon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Naples" title="Kingdom of Naples">Angevin Kingdom of Naples</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_France" title="Kingdom of France">Kingdom of France</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Papacy" class="mw-redirect" title="Papacy">papacy</a>. Initially fought between Sicilian rebels and <a href="/wiki/Charles_I_of_Sicily" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles I of Sicily">Charles of Anjou</a> in Sicily and Southern Italy, the war expanded when Aragon intervened in Sicily to support the rebels and claim the throne. After Aragonese successes, the war grew into the concurrent <a href="/wiki/Aragonese_Crusade" title="Aragonese Crusade">Aragonese Crusade</a> as the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_France" title="Kingdom of France">Kingdom of France</a> intervened against Aragon in Iberia. The crusade ended in defeat, but efforts to end the war failed despite several peace treaties. Aragon gave up the crown of Sicily in exchange for papal concessions in 1297, entering into an alliance with Angevin Naples and the papacy against Sicily, but the new alliance's <a href="/wiki/Angevin_invasion_of_Sicily" title="Angevin invasion of Sicily">campaign to invade Sicily</a> saw no success. The war ended in 1302 in the <a href="/wiki/Peace_of_Caltabellotta" title="Peace of Caltabellotta">Peace of Caltabellotta</a>, by which Sicily became an independent kingdom ruled by the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Barcelona" title="House of Barcelona">House of Barcelona</a>. Marked by intermittent land engagements, decisive battles at sea, siege warfare and political maneuvering, the war resulted in the division of the old <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Sicily" title="Kingdom of Sicily">Kingdom of Sicily</a>; the island of Sicily came to be ruled as the Kingdom of Sicily (<a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Trinacria" title="Kingdom of Trinacria">Trinacria</a>) under the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Barcelona" title="House of Barcelona">House of Barcelona</a>, while the Southern Italian territories of the former kingdom became the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Naples" title="Kingdom of Naples">Kingdom of Naples</a>, ruled by the <a href="/wiki/Capetian_House_of_Anjou" title="Capetian House of Anjou">House of Anjou</a>.

Charles of Anjou—unsure of the loyalty of his southern Italian subjects—retreated to Naples to reorganize, while the Aragonese-Sicilian army massed in Eastern Sicily. Aragonese troops led by prince <a href="/wiki/James_I_of_Aragon" title="James I of Aragon">James of Aragon</a> landed on the Italian mainland, marching toward <a href="/wiki/Reggio_Calabria" title="Reggio Calabria">Reggio</a> without resistance, but no large uprising against Charles took place in wider Calabria.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> The Aragonese pressed their advantage and by February 1283 he had taken most of the Calabrian coastline.<a href="#cite_note-:15-16">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-:2-23">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-:16-19">[18]</a> On the defensive, Charles sent letters to Peter demanding they resolve the conflict by personal combat. Peter accepted and Charles returned to France to arrange the duel. Both kings chose six knights to settle matters of places and dates. A duel between monarchs was scheduled for 1 June 1283 at English-ruled <a href="/wiki/Bordeaux" title="Bordeaux">Bordeaux</a> – one hundred knights would accompany each side, and <a href="/wiki/Edward_I_of_England" title="Edward I of England">Edward I of England</a> would adjudge the contest. However, the English king, heeding a papal order forbidding the duel, refused to take part.<a href="#cite_note-24">[22]</a> Peter left Sicily and returned via his own kingdom to Bordeaux, which he entered in disguise to evade a suspected French ambush. No combat between the two took part, and Peter returned to Barcelona to stabilize his kingdom, while Charles returned to Naples to rally support in his southern Italian lands.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-:2-23">[21]</a> Wary of future civil revolts, Charles convened a general assembly of notables in his kingdom, ultimately deciding to lower taxes in Italy. This strategy, however, forced the Angevin kingdom to incur a massive deficit.<a href="#cite_note-:22-9">[9]</a> While Peter and Charles had been pursuing justice by duel in France, their respective kingdoms continued to fight in Italy. With the war on land stalemated, naval warfare between Angevin and Aragonese fleets took precedence. In 1293 Sicilian–Aragonese admiral <a href="/wiki/Roger_of_Lauria" title="Roger of Lauria">Roger of Lauria</a> rose to prominence, replacing Peter's son James as the leading Aragonese naval commander. Lauria raided the Calabrian coast and the bay of Naples, striking at Angevin supply lines, while also keeping up a strong naval presence around Sicily to block any attempt by the Angevins to invade the island. In the summer of 1283, an attempt by an Angevin fleet to relieve <a href="/wiki/Malta" title="Malta">Malta</a> was intercepted and defeated by Lauria at the pivotal <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Malta" title="Battle of Malta">Battle of Malta</a>, securing Aragonese control of the sea around Sicily.<a href="#cite_note-:17-25">[23]</a> Despite the string of defeats in the previous year, in 1284 Charles of Anjou prepared to launch a major counteroffensive against the Aragonese. Drawing on the resources of his feudal holdings in France, the Balkans, and Italy, Charles slowly amassed a large army in southern Italy. To make the crossing into Sicily possible, he began a massive Angevin naval buildup, raising fleets in the various French and Italian ports under his control; to fund the fleet, he borrowed money from Italian cities, received a financial stipend from the papacy, and re-established heavy taxation in his lands. Having seen his fleet fail to prevent the Aragonese conquests of Sicily and Malta, he replaced his admirals and captains with new men, who he hoped would be more capable, and hired mercenary ships from Genoa and Pisa to supplement his forces. By the summer of 1284, Charles had amassed a fleet of 200 ships, against the Aragonese fleet of 40–50 ships under Lauria. The Angevin fleet was scattered between several different ports, however, and so Charles waited for an opportunity to consolidate them.<a href="#cite_note-:17-25">[23]</a> Notably absent from Charles' campaign was significant support from the Guelf-controlled cities of Italy. Unlike Charles' invasion of Sicily in 1266, in which many Guelf dominated cities had provided military support to Charles, these same cities considered Charles' war against Aragon and Sicily in 1284 to be an internal matter that did not concern them.<a href="#cite_note-:25-21">[19]</a> While his fleets amassed in France and Italy, Charles leveraged his diplomatic weight to further his war against Aragon. He convinced the papacy to grant him ecclesiastical tithes—collected by the church to fund a crusade in the Holy Land—for use in his war against the Aragonese, temporarily stabilizing the massive Angevin war debt. Acting in conjunction with his nephew, Philip III of France, he influenced France to prepare for war with Aragon, hoping to draw the Aragonese away from Sicily. This plan worked; Peter of Aragon, warry of a French invasion of Catalonia, was forced to withdraw his army and much of his navy from Sicily, thus greatly weakening his position there.<a href="#cite_note-:17-25">[23]</a> Seeking to head off the looming Angevin invasion, Lauria led his diminished fleet in a campaign of raiding in southern Italy. In June 1284, Lauria's raiding provoked Prince <a href="/wiki/Charles_II_of_Naples" title="Charles II of Naples">Charles of Salerno</a>, son and heir apparent of Charles of Anjou, to lead his fleet—stationed in Naples' harbor—to confront Lauria. In the ensuing battle, Lauria inflicted a heavy defeat on Charles' navy at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_the_Gulf_of_Naples" title="Battle of the Gulf of Naples">Battle of the Gulf of Naples</a>. Roger took the prince and 12 ships captive to Messina.<a href="#cite_note-:17-25">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-Chaytor,_p_105-26">[24]</a> The defeat was a major setback for Charles, but not a fatal one, and the Angevins still possessed a numerical advantage in ships. Marching south with an army, in August 1284 he besieged Reggio, sending a fleet to simultaneously blockade Messina and distract Lauria. The siege failed, however, and a storm damaged the blockading fleet, allowing Lauria to break the blockage and force the Angevin fleet into retreat. Lauria followed up his breakout with a series of strikes on Charles' supply lines, eventually forcing the Angevin army to withdraw to <a href="/wiki/Foggia" title="Foggia">Foggia</a>. With his victories, Lauria had retained Aragonese control of the sea.<a href="#cite_note-:17-25">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-Chaytor,_p_105-26">[24]</a> The huge costs incurred by the naval buildup and aborted land campaign depleted the Angevin treasury—crippling debt, and the unexpected series of Aragonese victories, forced Charles to halt his counterattack until 1285.<a href="#cite_note-:17-25">[23]</a> Though it maintained control over Naples and much of Southern Italy, the Angevin Kingdom lacked the funds to continue the counter offensive against Aragon, and with his son's capture, Charles had lost his heir. Charles fell ill and died at Foggia in early 1285, while Aragonese attention was diverted towards a brewing war with France in Iberia. With Charles dead and Peter distracted, Sicily became a secondary theatre in the conflict until the late 1280s.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-:2-23">[21]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="French_intervention_and_Aragonese_Crusade">French intervention and Aragonese Crusade</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: French intervention and Aragonese Crusade">edit</a>]</div> <dl><dd><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Aragonese_Crusade" title="Aragonese Crusade">Aragonese Crusade</a></div></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Border_conflict_and_politics">Border conflict and politics</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Border conflict and politics">edit</a>]</div> In light of Aragonese successes against the Angevins in Sicily, France looked to support its dynastic ally and take advantage of the conflict. The court of Philip III was split on war with Aragon, for while the pope had granted the Aragonese crown to a French prince, war would be costly. Philip had vowed that an attack on Charles' Angevin kingdom in Sicily would be treated as an attack on France,<a href="#cite_note-:4-17">[16]</a> but the French nobility showed a reluctance to become involved and Philip was unable to respond to the Aragonese landing on Sicily in 1282.<a href="#cite_note-:3-27">[25]</a> By early 1284, however, Philip had amassed enough political support to declare war; while he had little interest in Sicily itself, he saw value in seizing <a href="/wiki/Roussillon" title="Roussillon">Roussillon</a> and <a href="/wiki/Montpellier" title="Montpellier">Montpellier</a>, and in helping save his uncle Charles from defeat.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> Philip also hoped to expand his influence in northern Spain by securing the <a href="/wiki/Val_d%27Aran" title="Val d'Aran">Val d'Aran</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Navarre" title="Kingdom of Navarre">Kingdom of Navarre</a>, which were under his protection as per the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Orl%C3%A9ans" title="Treaty of Orléans">Treaty of Orléans</a> and nominally ruled by his son, Prince <a href="/wiki/Philip_IV_of_France" title="Philip IV of France">Philip the Fair</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> To spur an invasion Pope Martin IV declared a <a href="/wiki/Crusades" title="Crusades">crusade</a> against Aragon, citing King Peter's excommunication and granting an <a href="/wiki/Indulgence" title="Indulgence">indulgence</a> to any man who died fighting against Peter.<a href="#cite_note-:3-27">[25]</a> Both France and Aragon prepared for war.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[26]</a> Through the winter of 1283–1284, both sides continued their war preparations. Though he had been successful in Sicily, Peter of Aragon's war in the east had divided his kingdom's resources, and he faced an increasingly hostile political situation in Aragon as many nobles opposed his wars of expansion. After negotiations with a noble faction, Peter was forced to cede some of his rights as king and release noble prisoners in exchange for the manpower needed to defend Barcelona, his family's seat of power.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> In France, Philip deployed the royal army to Toulouse and Navarra, while raising large sums of money from French merchants to pay for the war.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> In late 1283 King <a href="/wiki/James_II_of_Majorca" title="James II of Majorca">James II of Majorca</a>, Peter's younger brother, announced his intent to support the French crusade and recognized their suzerainty over <a href="/wiki/Montpellier" title="Montpellier">Montpellier</a>, while also giving the French army free passage through the <a href="/wiki/Balearic_Islands" title="Balearic Islands">Balearic Islands</a> and <a href="/wiki/Roussillon" title="Roussillon">Roussillon</a>. James and Peter had a longstanding rivalry (Peter had opposed James' inheritance of Majorca after the death of their father), with both brothers desiring each-others kingdoms. While Majorcan support for France eased the French invasion of Aragon, James' actions inadvertently upset Philip's ambitions; the French king had hoped to annex Roussillon from Majorca, but now found himself awkwardly allied to James and therefore politically unable to seize the territory.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> Regardless of the Majorcan intervention, Philip resolved to move ahead with his invasion; on February 22, 1284, Philip's son Charles of Valois was crowned King of Aragon, a direct challenge to Peter.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="French_invasion">French invasion</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: French invasion">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Aragonese-crusade-ca.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Aragonese-crusade-ca.svg/220px-Aragonese-crusade-ca.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="377" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Aragonese-crusade-ca.svg/330px-Aragonese-crusade-ca.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Aragonese-crusade-ca.svg/440px-Aragonese-crusade-ca.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="682" data-file-height="1169" /></a><figcaption>Advance of the French crusader army into Aragon</figcaption></figure> In the summer of 1285, the French crusader army under Philip and Charles of Valois entered Roussillon.

When the French army reached the city of Elne, the city refused to open its gates. <a href="/wiki/Elne" title="Elne">Elne</a> was valiantly defended by the so-called bâtard de Roussillon ("bastard of Roussillon"), the illegitimate son of <a href="/wiki/Nu%C3%B1o_S%C3%A1nchez" title="Nuño Sánchez">Nuño Sánchez</a>, late count of Roussillon. Eventually the city was overcome and brutally sacked, with the French then continuing their advance south. Local nobles conducted a <a href="/wiki/Scorched_earth" title="Scorched earth">scorched earth</a> campaign against the French, prompting Philip to order his army to isolate any Aragonese garrison they encountered and continue south quickly, fearful of running out of supplies. Peter and the Aragonese army fell back from the frontier, not willing to risk attacking the larger French army - Peter was also awaiting the return of the men and ships he had fighting in Sicily.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-:3-27">[25]</a> Philip made slow but consistent progress southward, and by late June 1284 the French army had reached <a href="/wiki/Girona" title="Girona">Girona</a>, laying siege to the city in the heat of the Catalan summer. Philip's army needed constant resupply, forcing the French to move supplies through contested countryside to their rear or to ship supplies by sea to the town of <a href="/wiki/Roses,_Girona" class="mw-redirect" title="Roses, Girona">Roses</a>, 20 miles from Girona. The Aragonese probed the French lines around Girona, and tried to cut the road to Rosas, but failed; Peter was still unwilling to risk an open battle with the French. While the respective royal armies maneuvered on land, clusters of armed merchant ships and Catalan pirates preyed on French shipping, conducting a successful guerilla war at sea. Frustrated by small squadrons of Catalan galleys raiding their supply lines, the French prepared to blockade Barcelona.<a href="#cite_note-:7-29">[27]</a> In early September, the main Aragonese fleet under Roger of Lauria arrived from Sicily. On 3 September, his fleet attacked and decisively defeated a French fleet at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Les_Formigues" title="Battle of Les Formigues">Battle of Les Formigues</a>, giving Aragon control of the Catalan coast and cutting the French army's ability to resupply by sea. Lauria followed his victory with a raid on Roses, capturing many French ships in the harbor and seizing the main supply depot for the French royal army. Girona fell to the French on 7 September, but the victorious army was fast running out of supplies. The French held a ceremony to officially crown Charles of Valois 'King of Aragon' there, but without an actual crown, and the French army was by this time suffering from an outbreak of dysentery. By mid-September, Philip had decided to end the campaign and began to withdraw back towards the French border.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-:3-27">[25]</a> As the French army withdrew, it suffered badly from attrition and guerilla attacks, while Philip himself was afflicted with dysentery.<a href="#cite_note-:4-17">[16]</a> The heir to the French throne, Prince Philip the Fair of Navarre, opened negotiations with Peter for free passage for the royal family through the <a href="/wiki/Pyrenees" title="Pyrenees">Pyrenees</a>, and Peter agreed, not wanting to risk a protracted war with France.

The two monarchs hoped to consolidate the House of Barcelona's gains, and to annex their uncle James' lands in Mallorca.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> Alfonso was also engaged in a border war with <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Castile" title="Kingdom of Castile">Castile</a>, threatening the western flank of a still-unstable Aragon.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Angevin_re-armament_and_diplomatic_efforts">Angevin re-armament and diplomatic efforts</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Angevin re-armament and diplomatic efforts">edit</a>]</div> With the collapse of the French crusade, intermittent warfare between the two sides continued, most notably in 1286 when Roger of Lauria raided Provence,<a href="#cite_note-:7-29">[27]</a> and at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_the_Counts" title="Battle of the Counts">Battle of the Counts</a> off the coast of Naples in June 1287, which saw Lauria destroy the remnants of the Angevin navy. The Aragonese–Sicilian fleet adopted a policy of trade warfare, attacking and seizing Angevin ships trying to circumvent Sicily. Ships of the Genoese (who were allied to the Angevins and French) were rarely attacked, as the Genoese and Catalan merchant communities were closely tied.<a href="#cite_note-32">[30]</a> After the defeats of 1287, the Angevin kingdom—though still possessing a formidable army—began to seek a diplomatic accord with Aragon, while hoping to continue the war against Sicily.<a href="#cite_note-:8-31">[29]</a> Fears of Castilian, Genoese, Venetian, or Holy Roman intervention also drove the peace process forward; a tentative agreement was reached in 1288, and Charles of Naples was ransomed from Aragonese captivity, but <a href="/wiki/Pope_Nicholas_IV" title="Pope Nicholas IV">Pope Nicholas IV</a> annulled the peace treaty and demanded Philip and the newly-freed Charles invade Sicily.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> In Aragon, king Alfonso was beleaguered by internal troubles and there were fears that the powerful Aragonese nobility (who had previously opposed war with France) would demand that he seize control of Navarre, still ruled by Philip, and thus war with France would break out again.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> Sicily remained the key point of contention between the French/Papal parties and the House of Barcelona, but neither side was willing to abandon their claim.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> A change came in 1290, when Philip bribed one of Charles of Anjou's heirs to give up his claim on Sicily, thereby freeing France's obligation to invade. Charles of Valois, whom the papacy had granted the throne of Aragon, was also pressured to give up his claim in return for papal promises to grant him lands in Sicily and perhaps a throne in the future; he would continue to seek a crown as a semi-independent prince. In 1291, seeking to further cool tensions, Alfonso and Pope Nicholas signed the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Tarascon" title="Treaty of Tarascon">Treaty of Tarascon</a>, in which Alfonso tentatively agreed to not hold Sicily against papal wishes and to remove some Aragonese troops from the island. King James of Sicily was not a signatory but supported resolving the conflict. However, Alfonso died less than a month after signing the treaty, rendering it void.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> Alfonso's death passed the crown of Aragon to James, who now ruled both Aragon and Sicily. James spent much of 1291 consolidating his rule over Aragon, while also sending the Aragonese fleet back to Sicily. Renewed fighting between the Angevins and Aragonese broke out in Calabria; the Angevins recaptured the city of <a href="/wiki/Crotone" title="Crotone">Crotone</a>, while the Aragonese raided the Calabrian coastline.<a href="#cite_note-:23-14">[13]</a> In July 1292, Roger of Lauria led the Aragonese-Sicilian fleet in a major naval expedition to Greece, often called "Romania" in contemporary sources. Seeking to replenish the Aragonese treasury and undermine Angevin support for the war, Lauria's fleet raided towns, harried shipping, and captured hostages; Angevin targets were given precedence, but Lauria also attacked any targets of opportunity, including Byzantine, Venetian, and Genoese settlements. The fleet first struck Cephalonia and the Ionian islands, then plundered Corfu, the Cyclades islands, before moving east to attack the port town of <a href="/wiki/Heraklion" title="Heraklion">Candia</a> on Crete. Moving north into the Aegean, Lauria's force mounted a large raid on the Genoese-held island of <a href="/wiki/Chios" title="Chios">Chios</a>, plundering a fortune in <a href="/wiki/Mastic_(plant_resin)" title="Mastic (plant resin)">Mastic</a>, before turning south to attack the Angevin-ruled <a href="/wiki/Principality_of_Achaea" title="Principality of Achaea">Principality of Achaea</a>. The fleet returned to Sicily in late summer, stopping to raid Corfu a second time and possibly making an aborted attack on Brindisi, before docking in Messina on 21 September 1292. The campaign resulted in an influx of funds to the Aragonese-Sicily government, and more than covered the operating cost of the fleet for a year. Aragonese sources reported that Lauria lost one ship and 58 men in the course of the expedition. In addition to funding Aragon's war, the raid showed the decline of Angevin power in Greece—towns, cities, and merchants whom had submitted to the rule of Charles of Anjou during the Angevin expansion into Greece two decades before, now found themselves vulnerable under the rule of Charles II, whose prestige as king suffered a serious blow.<a href="#cite_note-:23-14">[13]</a> While his fleets raided abroad, James worked to cement his new rule in Aragon. Though he had been king of Sicily first, James was more interested in preserving the authority of the monarchy in Aragon; his late father and brother had both won successes in their wars against the Angevin-French-Papal alliance, but had both been forced to make political concessions to the Aragonese nobility to do so, and the decade-long war was a major financial burden on the kingdom. Keen to stabilize Aragon, James made diplomatic signals that he was willing to give up Sicily in exchange for a lasting peace with the French-papal alliance and compensation. However, the powerful Catalan merchant class, which had secured large trade concessions in Sicily, demanded the Aragon maintain some control over the island. In addition, some Aragonese noble families had acquired fiefs in Sicily, and so were remiss to give up the island to the Angevins. Complicating matters further, the Sicilians themselves (led by Queen Constance and the Sicilian parliament) were adamant that Sicily would not bow to papal or Angevin rule.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> With these issues still unresolved, James returned to Aragon to secure a peace with Castile, ordering an end to offensive action against the Angevins in early 1293.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a> James met with Charles II of Naples in November 1293, with James agreeing to renounce his claim to the Sicilian throne in exchange for compensation and the expectation that his excommunication would be rendered void. However, no official peace treaty could be signed without papal approval, and no pope was in power at the time due to electoral disputes in Rome.<a href="#cite_note-:9-33">[31]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Aragon_changes_sides,_Sicilian_resistance">Aragon changes sides, Sicilian resistance</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Aragon changes sides, Sicilian resistance">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Giotto,_bonifacio_VIII_proclama_il_giubileo_del_1300,_frammento_02.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Giotto%2C_bonifacio_VIII_proclama_il_giubileo_del_1300%2C_frammento_02.jpg/220px-Giotto%2C_bonifacio_VIII_proclama_il_giubileo_del_1300%2C_frammento_02.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="242" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Giotto%2C_bonifacio_VIII_proclama_il_giubileo_del_1300%2C_frammento_02.jpg/330px-Giotto%2C_bonifacio_VIII_proclama_il_giubileo_del_1300%2C_frammento_02.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Giotto%2C_bonifacio_VIII_proclama_il_giubileo_del_1300%2C_frammento_02.jpg/440px-Giotto%2C_bonifacio_VIII_proclama_il_giubileo_del_1300%2C_frammento_02.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1668" data-file-height="1832" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Pope_Boniface_VIII" title="Pope Boniface VIII">Pope Boniface VIII</a>, elected in 1295, was heavily involved in ending fighting between Aragon and Angevin Naples.

In addition to offering a draft of a peace treaty, Boniface offered the Aragonese leaders personal concessions; to Roger of Lauria, the pope offered to grant a papal fiefdom over the island of <a href="/wiki/Djerba" title="Djerba">Djerba</a>, while to Frederick he offered a marriage to <a href="/wiki/Catherine_I,_Latin_Empress" title="Catherine I, Latin Empress">Catherine de Courtenay</a>, who nominally controlled territories in the Greek islands and had a claim to the throne of the <a href="/wiki/Latin_Empire" title="Latin Empire">Latin Empire</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:9-33">[31]</a> According to some sources, the pope also offered Frederick an army and a papal sanction to invade the <a href="/wiki/Byzantine_Empire" title="Byzantine Empire">Byzantine Empire</a> in exchange for the Aragonese prince's abandonment of Sicily.<a href="#cite_note-:9-33">[31]</a> After negotiations resumed, James agreed to the 1295 <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Anagni" title="Treaty of Anagni">Treaty of Anagni</a>, by which he forfeited the crown of Sicily to the papacy and agreed to marry a member of Charles II's family, <a href="/wiki/Blanche_of_Anjou" title="Blanche of Anjou">Blanche of Anjou</a>, thus securing peace between Aragon, the Angevin kingdom, and the papacy.

Led by Queen <a href="/wiki/Constance_of_Sicily" class="mw-redirect" title="Constance of Sicily">Constance of Sicily</a> and the Sicilian parliament, the island prepared to continue the war. Pope Boniface's offer of a lucrative marriage partner for Frederick fell through, and soon after the Aragonese prince re-affirmed his desire to rule Sicily. In late 1285, Frederick announced that Aragon had abandoned the island and in December he was declared "Lord of the Island", pending a plebiscite to install him as king. After a gathering of its delegates in Palermo, in March 1296 the Sicilian parliament crowned Frederick as <a href="/wiki/Frederick_III_of_Sicily" title="Frederick III of Sicily">Frederick III, King of Sicily</a>. Frederick, although still a prince of Aragon, resolved to defend the island.<a href="#cite_note-:9-33">[31]</a> With Frederick's ascension as king, relations between Aragon and Sicily became more strained. Aragon was pressured by treaty to assist Angevin Naples and the papacy in reconquering Sicily, but James did not invade immediately, instead recalling all Aragonese and Catalans from the island. The rift between allies split the loyalties of many nobles; years of war and trade relations had resulted in many wealthy nobles and merchants, notably admiral Roger of Lauria, possessing lands in both Aragon and Sicily. Aragonese and Sicilian crews often served on the same warships, and many Aragonese soldiers were garrisoned in Sicily. When James recalled his fellow Catalans from Sicily, thousands chose to stay loyal to Sicily and Frederick.<a href="#cite_note-:9-33">[31]</a> As the year 1296 progressed, James became distracted in Iberia as Castile devolved into civil war, and so Frederick and his newly-independent Sicilian forces went on the offensive in Calabria, harassing Angevin forces. Pope Boniface demanded that James support the Angevin's war against Sicily, but James was in no rush to do so; instead, he attempted to schedule a series of peace summits with Frederick in an attempt to convince his brother to peacefully give up the island kingdom. Frederick rebuffed his brother's overtures, instead consulting with the Sicilian parliament on what the island kingdom's course of action would be. As it became increasingly apparent that Aragon, Angevin Naples, and the papacy would only accept the submission of Sicily, Frederick and the Sicilians furthered their military preparations to maintain Sicilian independence.<a href="#cite_note-:9-33">[31]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Aragonese–Angevin−Papal_alliance_against_Sicily">Aragonese–Angevin−Papal alliance against Sicily</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Aragonese–Angevin−Papal alliance against Sicily">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Angevin_invasion_of_Sicily" title="Angevin invasion of Sicily">Angevin invasion of Sicily</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Batalla-golf-napols-roger-lluria-carles-salerno-anjou.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Batalla-golf-napols-roger-lluria-carles-salerno-anjou.jpg/220px-Batalla-golf-napols-roger-lluria-carles-salerno-anjou.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="286" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/Batalla-golf-napols-roger-lluria-carles-salerno-anjou.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="308" data-file-height="400" /></a><figcaption>Aragonese–Sicilian admiral <a href="/wiki/Roger_of_Lauria" title="Roger of Lauria">Roger of Lauria's</a> capture of <a href="/wiki/Charles_II_of_Naples" title="Charles II of Naples">Prince Charles of Naples</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_the_Gulf_of_Naples" title="Battle of the Gulf of Naples">Battle of the Gulf of Naples</a> in 1284.

With Aragon requiring time to re-deploy its navy from Iberia, Angevin Naples struck first, seeking to drive Frederick from Calabria.

A combined allied fleet of 50 Aragonese and 30 Angevin galleys was assembled in Naples, while the Sicilians were able to raise 64 galleys led by former Genoese admiral <a href="/w/index.php?title=Corrado_Doria&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Corrado Doria (page does not exist)">Corrado Doria</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:10-35">[33]</a> To secure a beachhead on Sicily, James (who commanded the Aragonese-Angevin army) needed a secure port for the allied fleet to use during the winter months. In the summer of 1298 the allied fleet sailed to and captured <a href="/wiki/Patti,_Sicily" title="Patti, Sicily">Patti</a> in northern Sicily, but an attempt to push inland was abandoned in the face of local resistance. Later in the summer, the allied force embarked on a major campaign to capture Syracuse, succeeding in capturing several nearby towns and laying siege to the city. However, Frederick and his commanders kept up a successful campaign of <a href="/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare" title="Guerrilla warfare">guerilla warfare</a>, using cavalry raids to strike isolated allied garrisons and supply lines. Winter set in and battered both sides, draining valuable manpower, while Patti rose in revolt and expelled the allied garrison.<a href="#cite_note-:10-35">[33]</a> Roger of Lauria led a ground force to retake Patti, but a small fleet sent to help relive the fortress was surprised and defeated by a Sicilian squadron, costing the allied fleet 16 ships and granting the Sicilians near-parity with the Aragonese-Angevin fleet.<a href="#cite_note-:10-35">[33]</a> In March 1299, James was forced to lift his siege of Syracuse. Though the allies retained control over several coastal towns, the siege had sapped Aragonese–Angevin manpower and supplies. James sent out peace feelers to Frederick, but was rebuffed by his brother, who also had a relative of Roger of Lauria's executed.<a href="#cite_note-:10-35">[33]</a> James sailed for Naples and then Barcelona, returning to the theatre in May with a fresh army.<a href="#cite_note-:10-35">[33]</a> By July a second allied invasion fleet was ready to depart Naples. Sailing to northern Sicily, the fleet rounded the Cape of Orlando and landed at the town of <a href="/wiki/San_Marco_d%27Alunzio" title="San Marco d'Alunzio">San Marco d'Alunzio</a>. The allied fleet, again headed by Roger of Lauria, took up defensive positions on the beach.

In the ensuing <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Cape_Orlando" title="Battle of Cape Orlando">Battle of Cape Orlando</a> on 4 July, the Sicilian fleet suffered a major defeat, granting the allies command of the sea. James - having been informed of growing unrest in Catalonia - returned to Aragon soon after the victory, leaving Lauria and the Angevins to continue the war in Sicily.<a href="#cite_note-:10-35">[33]</a> Some sources have alleged that James, tired of expending Aragonese resources fighting a fellow member of the House of Barcelona and his former subjects, intentionally shifted his attention back to Iberia and away from Sicily, and James would never return to the theatre.<a href="#cite_note-:10-35">[33]</a><figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Filippo-dangio.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Filippo-dangio.jpg/220px-Filippo-dangio.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="327" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Filippo-dangio.jpg/330px-Filippo-dangio.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Filippo-dangio.jpg 2x" data-file-width="389" data-file-height="578" /></a><figcaption>Prince <a href="/wiki/Philip_I,_Prince_of_Taranto" class="mw-redirect" title="Philip I, Prince of Taranto">Philip of Taranto</a>, Charles II of Naples' second son, led the western Angevin army until being captured at the pivotal <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Falconaria" title="Battle of Falconaria">Battle of Falconaria</a> in 1299.</figcaption></figure> Having secured a beachhead on Sicily, the Angevins began landing troops on the island.

As they advanced across the countryside, the Angevins captured several towns while also decimating the fiefs of those nobles known to support Frederick. Catania was soon besieged, and after several weeks an internal coup resulted in the city being occupied by the Angevin army. A major victory for the allies, the fall of Catania resulted in several nearby towns also surrendering to Robert and Roger of Lauria. The loss of the city also forced Frederick to relocate his court, as the Angevin position in Catania threatened Syracuse and Messina. Retreating to the central highlands of Sicily, Frederick chose the city of <a href="/wiki/Enna" title="Enna">Enna</a> as his base of operations. Frederick's new position in the central Sicilian highlands moved him away from the larger costal cities, but also strengthened his internal <a href="/wiki/Line_of_communication" title="Line of communication">lines of communication</a>, as from Enna's commanding plateau he was able to send out forces to counter the Angevins wherever they chose to attack.<a href="#cite_note-:11-36">[34]</a> Having captured Catania and isolated Messina and Syracuse in the east, the Angevins now prepared an invasion of western Sicily, hoping to catch Frederick's remaining forces in a pincer. In November 1299 a second Angevin army led by Charles' second son, <a href="/wiki/Philip_I,_Prince_of_Taranto" class="mw-redirect" title="Philip I, Prince of Taranto">Philip of Taranto</a>, landed on Sicily and besieged <a href="/wiki/Trapani" title="Trapani">Trapani</a>. Faced with a choice of waiting in heavily-fortified Enna to be trapped between the eastern and western Angevin armies or going on the offensive, Frederick consolidated his forces and marched to attack Philip in the west. Philip, unable to capture Trapani, marched to besiege <a href="/wiki/Marsala" title="Marsala">Marsala</a>; the two armies encountered each other near the city, and in the ensuing <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Falconaria" title="Battle of Falconaria">Battle of Falconaria</a> the Angevin army was routed and Philip captured.<a href="#cite_note-:11-36">[34]</a> The battle was a major victory for Frederick and boosted the morale of the Sicilians.

In July a deadly storm struck both fleets, resulting in the loss of nearly 30 galleys.<a href="#cite_note-:12-37">[35]</a> The loss of ships and skilled crews to weather and disease sapped allied naval power, and an abortive attempt to besiege Syracuse also resulted in the loss of several ships. With any westward movement blocked by Frederick's armies, the Angevins chose instead to strike north towards Messina, laying siege to the strategically important city in August. The allied fleet blockaded the city, while Angevin soldiers burned the countryside that fed the populace. Realizing the need to relieve Messina, the Sicilians conducted two overland campaigns to open a supply line to the city, the second commanded by Frederick himself, while a small flotilla under the command of mercenary captain <a href="/wiki/Roger_de_Flor" title="Roger de Flor">Roger de Flor</a> harassed Roger of Lauria's blockading fleet.<a href="#cite_note-:12-37">[35]</a> The Sicilian resupply missions kept up morale in the city, and while famine devastated the population and Sicilian garrison, Messina refused to surrender.

Acting independently as a French prince, he received significant financial backing from the papacy and the French court. As he moved south through Italy, Valois used his army to crush supporters of the anti-papal Ghibellines in <a href="/wiki/Tuscany" title="Tuscany">Tuscany</a> and <a href="/wiki/Florence" title="Florence">Florence</a>. Once in Naples, Valois signed an accord with the pope and Angevins offering him support for a future venture to restore the Latin Empire if he were to successfully conquer Sicily. In the summer of 1302, the peace compact between Sicily and Angevin Naples expired, allowing the Angevins to begin providing men and ships to Valois' invasion force.<a href="#cite_note-:12-37">[35]</a> Faced with Charles of Valois' large and professional French army, Frederick chose to fortify coastal towns and scour the countryside of food, planning to wear down the invaders in a war of attrition.<a href="#cite_note-:12-37">[35]</a> The allied fleet, now laden with Valois' army, landed at <a href="/wiki/Termini_Imerese" title="Termini Imerese">Termini</a> on the northern coast, encountering no resistance. While Roger of Lauria raided the coastline near Palermo, the Valois army marched inland in an attempt to seize the Sicilian heartland. The army besieged <a href="/wiki/Caccamo" title="Caccamo">Caccamo</a>, but found it too well defended, and so moved on to <a href="/wiki/Corleone" title="Corleone">Corleone</a>, which also resisted Valois. Seeking to resupply his army by sea, Valois then marched to <a href="/wiki/Sciacca" title="Sciacca">Sciacca</a> on the southwest coast of Sicily, arriving in July. As the allied army moved, Frederick and the Sicilians shadowed them through the countryside, choosing not to engage them directly. Disease, starvation, and the hot Sicilian summer devastated Valois' army, which was unable to break through the defenses at Sciacca; by August 1302, Valois chose to send envoys to Frederick to discuss peace. In mid-August, Valois agreed to leave the island, and the Angevins agreed to evacuate their remaining garrisons in eastern Sicily in return for Frederick withdrawing his forces from the Italian mainland.<a href="#cite_note-:12-37">[35]</a> With Charles of Valois defeated, Charles II unable to mount a successful invasion, and James being unconcerned with invading, all sides began to seek peace.<a href="#cite_note-:0-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-:12-37">[35]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Conclusion_and_Peace">Conclusion and Peace</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Conclusion and Peace">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Peace_of_Caltabellotta">Peace of Caltabellotta</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Peace of Caltabellotta">edit</a>]</div> On 19 August, the <a href="/wiki/Peace_of_Caltabellotta" title="Peace of Caltabellotta">Peace of Caltabellotta</a> was signed.

Sources also discuses whether Charles' actions were designed to punish Sicily, or rather to incorporate Sicily into the Angevin empire, likely a degree of both. Abulafia (2000) argues that early modern histories of the Sicilian Vespers were written during a time of intense political friction between Sicily, Naples, and the culturally French <a href="/wiki/House_of_Bourbon-Two_Sicilies" title="House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies">House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies</a>, and so 19th century Sicilian historians often placed heavy emphasis on Angevin-French tyranny. </li> <li id="cite_note-Note02-20"><a href="#cite_ref-Note02_20-0">^</a> Migliazzo (2022) notes that the first recorded mention of John of Procida being connected to the Vespers revolt is found in a 1303 chronicle of the revolt, and only mentions Procida as being in a secondary role.

Migliazzo argues that the mendicant orders of Northern Italy, in particularly the Dominican Friars, were leaders in spreading conspiracies about Procida, as the orders were predominately pro-Guelph. </li> </ol></div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Citations">Citations</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=War_of_the_Sicilian_Vespers&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: Citations">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1239543626"><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a> N<a href="/wiki/John_Julius_Norwich" title="John Julius Norwich">orwich, John Julius</a> (1992).
