Peace of Caltabellotta
Quick Summary
The Peace of Caltabellotta was a treaty signed on August 31, 1302, that ended the War of the Sicilian Vespers. This conflict arose from the revolt of the Sicilians against Charles I of Anjou in 1282, leading to the separation of Sicily from the mainland Kingdom of Naples. The treaty resolved the struggle for possession of Sicily between the Angevin rulers and the House of Aragon. Under its terms, Charles II of Naples agreed to relinquish his claim to Sicily during the lifetime of Frederick III of Aragon, who ruled Sicily from 1296 to 1337. This agreement marked the beginning of a long period of Spanish influence on the island.12
