John I of Aragon
John I (
1350-
1395), king of
Aragon, was the son of
Peter IV. and his third wife Eleanor of Sicily. He was born on
December 27 1350, and died by a fall from his horse, like his namesake, cousin and contemporary of Castile. He was a man of insignificant character, with a taste for artificial verse.
