“…He led the cleric to believe that he agreed, but when the time came, he put on the crown himself, telling the prelate "not to adjust it or touch our crown, that we would do that for him" (See [1]; Chapter 2, par. 12, [10][11][12], more specifically [13]).…”

Peter IV king of Aragón (1336–1387). He was the seventh king of the Crown of Aragon, and father of Juan I (1387–1396) and Martín I (1396–1410), the last members of the dynasty to take the throne. When Martín died, the Trastámara branch occupied the throne of the kingdom. Peter IV was dazzling in his ability to use art as a tool of authority and sovereignty. With the aim of exalting the dynasty, he patronised various enterprises, among the most important of which was the abbey of Santa Maria de Poblet, which he intended to be a burial place for himself and his successors, a wish that was fulfilled, without exception, down to Juan II, the predecessor of the Catholic Monarchs. A perfectionist and zealot, he endowed important religious events with profound political significance, and promoted works of great symbolism such as the genealogy of the new saló del tinell, or the ordinacions de la casa i cort, to which he added an appendix establishing how the kings of Aragon were to be crowned.

This article analyses the poetic performance by Prince Peter of Aragon (at the time, count of Empúries) during the feast to celebrate his older brother Alfons’s coronation in 1328, as described in Ramon Muntaner’s chronicle. Both the context of the whole ceremony and the contemporary poetic trends provide indications to further the understanding of this scene. This wider perspective illuminates the way Peter chose to present himself while reinforcing the pivotal symbolic elements of the coronation. - Keywords Coronations; 14th C Catalan poetry; Ramon Muntaner; Peter of Empúries; Alfons el Benigne

The aim of this study is to analyze the coronation ceremonies carried out in the Crown of Aragon throughout the Middle Ages. Although the pope granted most Western monarchies the right to hold these ceremonies in their own kingdoms in 1204, our study will address the mechanisms used to appoint kings both before and after the consolidation of these ceremonies, mechanisms which reflected the power struggles between the parties involved, that is, the prince and the Church. We will examine the elements that remained constant throughout this period but we will also pay particular attention to the alterations that were made and how these had important consequences that went beyond politics and entered religious terrain. Among the changes were the kings' efforts to participate in priestly orders, the promotion and consolidation of new liturgy with content intended to legitimize the kings, and the use of new iconographies with sacred references. As will be seen, these are only a small example of the mechanisms used by the sovereigns of the Crown of Aragon to re-emphasize their links with God, which had been weakened by the transformations to the anointing and coronation ceremonials and the resulting tensions with Rome, particularly during the times of Peter IV (1336-1387).
