The signing of the Treaty of Anagni was a key moment in the history of Spain. In this treaty, James the Just, the king of Aragon and Valencia, made the decision to grant Sicily to the pope, Pope Boniface VIII. However, the pope promptly gifted Sicily to Charles the Lame, the future king of Naples. In return for this favor, James agreed to aid Charles in the reconquest of Sicily. This treaty had far-reaching consequences for the political landscape of Spain and Italy, as it solidified the influence of the pope over Sicily and strengthened the ties between Aragon and Naples. The Treaty of Anagni served as a testament to the intricate web of alliances and power struggles that existed between the different kingdoms and religious institutions during this period. #TreatyofAnagni #Spain #Aragon #Sicily #Naples
