It was brought into the dock for every shade of political malfeasance known to man. It even involved one of Catalonia’s leading literary figures, Bernat Metge.Item Disposable alliances: Aragon and Castille during the War of the two Pedros and beyond(2010-09-14) Kagay, Dr. Donald J.This paper focuses on the King of Aragon (Pere III 1336-1387) and his deceptive practices as a diplomat. By tracing the diplomatic developments between Aragon and Castile during this time frame, one is struck not only by Pere III’s double-dealing, but also by how deeply France and England were affected by the “minor” states of Spain.Item Battle-seeking commanders in the later Middle Ages: Phases of Generalship in the War of the Two Pedros(2010-09-07) Kagay, Dr. Donald J.Warfare during the Middle Ages frequently was of a defensive nature.

During the War of the Two Pedros however, the regions of Castile and Aragon fought a long and bloody war.Item Jean Loupot(1835-1904)(2010-08-18) Kagay, Dr. Donald J.This article is a biography of Jean Loupot(1835-1904).
