Peter III of Arborea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter III (died 1347), of the Cappai de Bas family, was the Judge of Arborea from 1335. He was the son of Hugh II and on his father's death, he sent word to Alfonso IV of Aragon and assumed the throne.
Peter married Constance (died 18 February 1348), daughter of Thomas II of Saluzzo, towards 1326. He reigned in the shadow of his chancellor, Guido Cattaneo, Archbishop of Arborea, and the doctor of civil and penal law, Filippo Mameli, a canon of Tramatza.
When Alfonso died in 1336, Peter's brother Marianus paid homage to Peter IV of Aragon on his behalf. On 22 September 1343, he obtained from Pope Clement IV permission to found a monastery of the Clarisse.
