Main articles: Sack of Torreblanca (1397) and Crusade of Tedelis In 1398, as a result of the Sack of Torreblanca (1397)[1] in which Telmeceni pirates captured the consecrated host[2] and 108 prisoners,[3] King Martin of Aragon after repelling the invasion of Matthew I of Foix ordered a retaliatory attack on Dellys.
The fleet set sail in August 1398, and successfully reached Tedelis, which was sacked, killing around 1,000 villagers.
The following year, Martin ordered a repeat of the campaign, this time, directed at Bona.
The Muslims, warned by Majorcan merchants, had defended the city and gathered a large number of fighters.
[6] After the siege, the Valencian and Majorcan navy separated and ended up returning to the ports of origin without having achieved any victory.
