      Peter IV of Aragon (September 1319 - 5 January 1387), king of Aragon (1336-1387), the Ceremonious or el del punyalet (the one of the little dagger ). He deposed James III of Majorca and rejoined the Balearic Islands and Roussillon under the crown of Aragon. He wrote the Chronicle of his name.

      He found himself facing a rebellion among the nobles which would fail after he defeated the nobles in the Battle of Epila in 1348.

      In 1356, he engaged with Peter I of Castile in what was called the "War of the Two Peters". It ended in 1375 with the Treaty of Almazˇn, without a winner due to the Black Death and several natural disasters.

      Throughout his reign, Peter IV had frequent conflicts with the inquisitor general of Aragon, Nicolau Aymerich.

      During his reign, the Generalitat was instituted in the Courts of 1358-1359.

      He conquered Sicily in 1377 but the posession was given to his son Martin.
