SA-NOGUEIRA, Bernardo de. Why was it nearly forgotten?: The 1304 Agreda Treaty between Fernando IV of Castile and Jaume II of Aragon. e-JPH [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.2, pp.1-22. ISSN 1645-6432.

In 1304 the kings of Portugal, Aragon and Castile, the latter through his uncle Prince Don Juan, and the bishop of Zaragoza were judges in two complex arbitrations that resolved two old conflicts between Aragon and Castile, namely, the claim to the throne of Castile by the Infantes de la Cerda, whose rights were upheld by Jaume II of Aragon, and the demarcation of the border between Aragon and Castile in the region of Murcia. Following the arbitrations, they signed the Treaty of Agreda. This paper reviews the existing bibliography while clearing up misunderstandings and approaching the subject from a slightly different angle.

Keywords : Agreda; treaty; arbitrations; Portugal; Castile; Aragon.
