Summary

While the King of Castile was in Seville he learned that Cardinal Guy of Boulogne was in the town of Almazán in order to make peace between him and the King of Aragon. The cardinal sent to ask the king if he wanted him to come to his presence in Seville or if he should wait where he was (if the king by chance happened to be coming to that region). The king had already left Seville for the Aragonese frontier when this message reached him in Villa Real; he said that he was very pleased at the cardinal's arrival and asked to meet him in Almazán to which he was directly headed.

Thus it was that the king arrived there after a few days, and the cardinal told him in the presence of his Royal Council all that the Pope had asked him to say concerning his grief over the war between him and the King of Aragon, and about the pleasure he would feel to see them at peace. The king answered that the war with the King of Aragon was very much the latter's fault. He told the cardinal what had happened with the captain of the Aragonese galleys at the mouth of the Barrameda (as you have heard), and how he had complained to the King of Aragon who had never dealt with it as he ought to have done and had asked all the King of Castile's enemies in France to wage war on him.

The cardinal said he wanted to go and speak to the King of Aragon about this. The King of Castile said that this would please him and that he would gladly make peace, as long as the King of Aragon did the following: firstly, he should hand over the knight [who had been involved in the Barrameda incident], so that justice could be done to him where he, the King of Castile, wished it; secondly, the King of Aragon should expel his own brother Prince Ferran, the Marquis of Tortosa, as well as Count Enrique and all the others who had come to help in the war; thirdly, he should hand over the castles of Orihuela and Alicante, as well as other places that had formerly belonged to Castile; and finally, he should pay the 500,000 florins that the war had cost him.
