Wer heiratete Jakob III. (Mallorca)?

Jakob III. von Mallorca (katalanisch: Jaume III de Mallorca; * 5. April 1315 in Catania; † 25. Oktober 1349 in Llucmajor), genannt „der Kühne“ (katal.: el Temerari), war von 1324 bis 1344/49 König von Mallorca, Graf von Cerdanya und Roussillon sowie Herr von Montpellier aus dem Haus Barcelona.

Constance of Aragon (1318–Montpellier, 1346) was Queen of Majorca as the wife of King James III. She was the eldest daughter of Alfonso IV of Aragon and his first wife, Teresa d'Entença.

James III wished to have friendly relations with Aragon, and thus married Constance in Perpignan on 24 September 1336. In 1342, he refused to take the oath of fealty to Constance's brother, Peter IV of Aragon.

James and Constance had two children:

1. James (c. 1336 – January 20, 1375), pretender to the throne of Majorca
2. Isabella (1337–1406), pretender to the throne of Majorca

In a short war (1343–44), James (and allegedly Constance) was driven out of Majorca by Peter, who annexed the Balearic Islands to the Crown of Aragon.

Two years later, Constance died in Montpellier. She was outlived by James and her two children. Her husband remarried the following year to Violante of Vilaragut.

Violante of Vilaragut (1320 or 1325 – before 1372) was a daughter of Berengeur de Vilaragut and his second wife Saura, who was an illegitimate daughter of James II of Majorca. Violante was titular queen of Majorca by her marriage to her cousin James III of Majorca.
