PETER III

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 292 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PETER III ., king of Aragon (1236-1286), son of James the Conqueror, and his wife Yolande, daughter of Andrew II. of
Hungary
 , was born in 1236. Having married Constance, daughter of Manfred of Beneventum, he came forward as the representative of the claims of the Hohenstaufen in Naples and Sicily against Charles, duke of Anjou. Peter began the
long
  strife of the Angevine and Aragonese parties in southern Italy. His success in conquering Sicily earned him the surname of " the
Great
 ." He repelled an invasion of
Catalonia
  under-taken by the king of France in support of Charles of Anjou, and died on the 8th of November 1286.
For the personal
character
  of Peter III., the best
witness
  is the Chronicle of Ramonde Muntanezreprinted in the
original
  Catalan by R. Lanz, Literarischer Verein in
Stuttgart
 , vol. vii. (1844), and in French by Buchon,
Coll
 . des chroniques nationales (Paris, 18241828). See also O. Cartellieri, Peter von Aragon and die Sizilianische Vesper (
Heidelberg
 , 1904).
