Historical background
COUNTY OF BARCELONA - ROUSSILLON - ALFONSO V THE WISE AND THE MAGNANIMOUS
(1416-1458)
Roussillon passed under the domination of the kings of Majorca in 1262, then under that of the kings of Aragon in 1344. Louis XI recovered this county for a short time and Roussillon did not fall definitively under French domination until 1641. Alphonse V was born in 1396 and he was adopted by Joan II, Queen of Naples. He married in 1415 Marie, daughter of Henry III of Castile. He died in 1458 without legitimate posterity.
