Pere d'Empúries, un poeta de nissaga reial a la «Crònica» de Ramon Muntaner

Abstract

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
