| biography:
| Spanish prince and historian, born in Peñafiel, Valladolid, NWC Spain, son of Juan II of Aragón and Blanca de Navarra. He was a disciple of Alfonso de la Torre and friend of Ausias March, and spent some time in Naples at the court of his uncle Alfonso V. He compiled an interesting Crónica de los reyes de Navarra (1843), which takes the story of the kingdom up to the times of his grandfather, Carlos III, and also translated Aristotle's Nicomachaean Ethics. He was imprisoned by his father in 1460 in a dispute about succession, and his death led to an uprising of the Catalans, who believed he had been murdered. |
