Pedro III - https://www.biografiasyvidas.com/
1282 - Pedro III of Aragon becomes the King of Sicily. Pedro was the eldest son of James I of Aragon and his second wife Violant of Hungary. Among opportunistic betrothals of his youth, he was betrothed to Eudoxia Laskarina, the youngest daughter of Theodoros II Laskaris, in or before 1260. This contract was dissolved, however, after Eudoxia's brother lost the imperial throne in 1261, and Eudoxia was instead married to the Count of Tenda. On 13 June 1262, Pedro married Constance II of Sicily, daughter and heiress of Manfred of Sicily. During his youth and early adulthood, Pedro gained a great deal of military experience in his father's war of the Reconquista against the Moors
In June 1275, Pedro besieged, captured and executed his rebellious half-brother Fernando Sánchez de Castro at Pomar de Cinca
On his father's death in 1276, the lands of the Crown of Aragón were divided amongst his two sons. The Kingdom of Aragon, the Kingdom of Valencia and the Catalan countries went to Pedro III as being the eldest son; while the Kingdom of Majorca and the Catalan countries beyond the Pyrenees went to the second son, who became James II of Majorca
Pedro and Constance were crowned in Zaragoza in November 1276 by the archbishop of Tarragona
1479 - The Treaty of Alcáçovas is signed by the Catholic Monarchs of Castile and Aragon on one side and Afonso V and his son, Prince John of Portugal on the other side. It put an end to the War of the Castilian Succession which ended with a victory of the Castilians on land, and a Portuguese victory on the sea. The four peace treaties signed at Alcáçovas reflected that outcome. Isabella was recognised as Queen of Castile while Portugal reached hegemony in the Atlantic Ocean
The treaty intended to regulate
The renunciation of Afonso V and Castilian Monarchs to the Castilian throne and Portuguese throne, respectively
The division of the Atlantic Ocean and overseas territories into two zones of influence
The destiny of Juana de Trastámara
The contract of marriage between Isabella, the eldest daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, with Alfonso, heir of Prince John - This was known as Tercerías de Moura, and included the payment to Portugal of a war compensation by the Catholic Monarchs in the form of marriage dowry
