Aragonese Interregnum (1410-1412) was two-year period in which the Crown of Aragon lacked a monarch.
It lasted from May 31, 1410, the date of the death of King Martin I of Aragon, until July 28, 1412, the day on which the Valencian Dominican friar, Vincent Ferrer announced the election of Ferdinand I of Aragón, of the Castilian dynasty of the Trastámara as: King of Aragon, King of Valencia, Count of Barcelona and sovereign of the territories of the Crown of Aragon.
King Martin the Humane died without issue (a year before - July 1409 - his son Martin the Younger had died in Sicily, who had a natural son: Frederic, aspirant to the throne) at a time when the Muslim danger no longer existed, but the open schism between Avignon and Rome influenced the alliances between one state and the other; For this reason it was very important to know the evolution of the position of the Crown of Aragon.
Internally there were clashes between the nobility, a conflict of interests between the supporters of the different aspirants to the throne, giving rise to rebellions in fortresses such as that of Loarre, or political assassinations (such as the assassination of García Fernández de Heredia, Archbishop of Zaragoza); but the representatives of the estates of the different kingdoms and principalities knew how to maintain order, despite the existence of isolated conflicts, throughout the Crown.
The Aragonese parliament sought and proposed the solution, and among the three parliaments: Aragonese, Catalan and Valencia, they sought a peaceful solution, which concluded with the election of the Castilian claimant, nephew of Martín the Humane.
