The Peace of Caltabellotta, signed on 31 August 1302,[1] was the last of a series of treaties, including those of Tarascon and Anagni, designed to end the War of the Sicilian Vespers between the Houses of Anjou and Barcelona for ascendancy in the Mediterranean and especially Sicily and the Mezzogiorno.
[2] Immediately, in exchange, Frederick handed over all his possessions in Calabria and elsewhere on the mainland and released Charles' son Philip, Prince of Taranto,[3] from his prison in Cefalù.
The consequences of the treaty meant that Roger de Flor and his Almogavars of the Catalan Company had to seek pay elsewhere.
[4] Bernat de Rocafort, an Almogàvar, did not want to return to Charles his two castles in Calabria until he was compensated with pay.
He was captured and left to eventually die in an oubliette of Robert the Wise, Charles' successor, in 1309.
