Alfonso III of Aragon conquered the island of Majorca in 1285 and Ibiza in 1286 from James II of Majorca, and effectively recovered Minorca from Moorish rule. By the Treaty of Anagni of 1295, however, these island territories were yielded to James. The continental territories, however, remained under Alfonso's control.
