Jaime II de Aragón, el Justo (Valencia, 10 de agosto de 1267 – Barcelona, 2 de noviembre de 1327) fue rey de Aragón y Sicilia entre 1291 y su muerte.

Segundo hijo de Pedro III y de su esposa Constanza II de Sicilia, de su padre heredó el reino de Sicilia en 1285.

En 1291 recibió también la Corona de Aragón, al morir sin descendencia su hermano Alfonso III, y se alió con el rey de Castilla.

7) Infante Pedro de Aragón (1305-1381), conde de Ribagorza, de Ampurias y de Prades.

8) Infanta Blanca de Aragón y de Anjou (1307-1348), religiosa.

9) Infante Ramón Berenguer de Aragón y Anjou (1308-1364), conde de Prades y señor de la Villa de Elche.

10) Infanta Violante de Aragón (1310-1353), casada con Felipe, déspota de Rumania e hijo de Felipe I de Tarento, y posteriormente con Don Lope Ferrench de Luna, primer conde de Luna.

Tuvo por sucesor a su hijo Alfonso IV.

James II of Aragon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, English (EN):

James II, King of Aragon (10 August 1267 in Valencia – 2 November or 5 November 1327 in Barcelona), in Catalan Jaume II, in Aragonese Chaime II, in Spanish Jaime II, also James II of Barcelona, called The Just (Catalan: El Just, Aragonese: Lo Chusto) was the second son of Peter III of Aragon and Constance of Sicily.

He succeeded his father as King of Sicily in 1285, and was then known as "James I of Sicily." Upon the death of his brother Alfonso III in 1291, he succeeded also to the throne of the Crown of Aragon. By a peace treaty with Charles II of Anjou in 1296, he agreed to give up Sicily, but the Sicilians instead installed on the throne his brother Frederick. He reigned until his death in 1327.

By the Treaty of Anagni in 1295, he returned the Balearic Islands to James II of Majorca. Aragon retained control over the continental territories of the Majorca kingdom — Montpellier and Roussillon — throughout James' reign. In 1298, by the Treaty of Argilers, James of Majorca recognised the suzerainty of James of Aragon.

Family

He married four times:

— Isabella of Castile, Viscountess of Limoges, daughter of Sancho IV of Castile and his wife María de Molina. The wedding took place in the city of Soria, in 1 December 1291 when the bride was only 8 years old. The marriage, which was never consummated, was dissolved and annulled after Sancho's death in 1295, when James chose to change his alliances and take advantage of the turmoil inside Castile.

— Blanche of Anjou, daughter of his family's rival Charles II of Naples and Maria Arpad of Hungary. They married in the city of Villabertran, in 29 October or 1 November 1295. She bore him several legitimate children:

James (Jaume) (b. 29 September 1296 - d. Tarragona, July 1334). James renounced his right to the throne in 1319 to become a monk. He refused to consummate his marriage to Leonor of Castille, who later become the second wife of his brother Alfonso.

Alfonso IV of Aragon (1299 – 24 January 1336). He became the King of Aragon in 1327 and ruled until his death. He married twice: first to Teresa d'Entença and then to Eleanor of Castile after his first wife died.

Maria (b. 1299 - d. as a nun in Sijena, 1316). She married Pedro of Castile, son of Sancho IV of Castile.

Constance (Constança) (b. Valencia, 1 April 1300 - d. Castillo de Garcia Munoz, 19 September 1327). Constance married Juan Manuel, Duke of Penafiel, nephew of Alfonso X of Castile.

John (Juan) (b. 1304 - d. Pobo, Zaragoza, 19 August 1334). John became the first Archbishop of Toledo and Tarragona in 1318, and Patriarch of Alexandria in 1328.

Isabel of Aragon (b. 1305 - d. Styria, 12 July 1330). Elizabeth married Frederick I of Austria.

Peter (Pere) (b. 1305 - d. Pisa, 4 November 1381), Count of Ribagorça and Prades. Peter married Jeanne, daughter of Gaston I of Foix.

Blanca (b. 1307 - d. Barcelona, 1348), Prioress of Sixena.

Ramon Berenguer (b. August 1308 - d. a priest at Barcelona, 1366), Count of Empúries and Baron of Ejerica. Ramon married firstly with Blanca, daughter of Philip I of Taranto, and secondly with Maria, daughter of Jaime of Aragon.

Violante (b. Barcelona, October 1310 - d. Pedrola, 19 July 1353). She first married Philip, Despot of Romania, son of Philip I of Taranto. Her second marriage was with Lope de Luna, Lord of Segorbe.

— Marie de Lusignan (1273 – September, 1322 at Tortosa, buried at Barcelona), daughter of the King Hugh III of Cyprus. They married by proxy in Santa Sophia, Nicosia, in 15 June 1315, and in person in the city of Girona, in 27 November 1315. This marriage was childless.

— Elisenda de Montcada, daughter of Pedro I de Montcada, Lord of Altona and Soses, and wife Gisela d'Abarca. They married in the city of Tarragona, in 25 December 1322. This marriage was childless too, and, after the king's death, she entered the Monastery of Poor Clares in Pedralbes as a Nun, where she died on June 19, 1364.

[edit]Mistresses and offspring

In addition to his legitimate offspring, James had three natural children born with Sicilian women:

— With Gerolda:

Sancho (b. Sicily, 1287 - d. young?).

Napoleón (b. Sicily, 1288 - m. 1338), Lord of Joyosa Guarda (Gioiosaguardia) and Acquafredda (in Sardinia); married a daughter of a Majorcan named Guillermo Robert.

— With Lucrecia:

James (Jaume) (b. Mazzara, 1291 - d. 1350), Vicario di Cagliari (1317–1341); married firstly with Jaumetta Guerau, from Majorca, and secondly with Puccia, a Sardinian woman.

Jaime II de Aragão apelidado de "o Justo" (Valência, 10 de Agosto de 1267 – Barcelona, 2 de Novembro de 1327) foi rei de Aragão e da Sicília entre 1291 e a sua morte.

A respeito da sua política peninsular:

Consolidou a Coroa de Aragão ao declarar a união indissolúvel entre os reinos de Aragão, Catalunha e Valência (1319).

Obteve a vassalagem dos reis de Maiorca (membros da casa real aragonesa).

Recuperou o Vale de Arán.

Reforçou a posição da Coroa submetendo a nobreza com o apoio das cidades.

Fez avançar a fronteira do reino de Valência até à costa de Múrcia, aproveitando a intervenção nas disputas sucessórias castelhanas (1304).

Reforçou a defesa do flanco sul frente aos muçulmanos criando para isso a ordem militar de Montesa (1317), aprovada pelo papa João XXII em 1317, com o fim de lutar contra os muçulmanos.

Fundou em 1300 a Universidade de Lérida.

Desterrou do seu território os templários.

No final do seu reinado, em 1325, as Cortes reunidas em Saragoça acordaram a supressão do tormento.

Elaborou uma política de ligações matrimoniais com a família real castelhana, mas que não deram os resultados esperados. A filha de Sancho IV fazia parte do acordo e, apesar dos seus oito anos de idade, foi enviada a Aragão para casar com Jaime II, mas três anos mais tarde foi devolvida a Castela pois o papa Bonifácio VIII não concedeu a dispensa matrimonial.
