Ferdinand of Majorca

Ferdinand of Majorca (1278–1316), born at Perpignan, was the third son of King James II and Viscount of Aumelas from 1311. Frederick III of Sicily sent him to command the Catalan Company, but its leader rebuffed him, and Venetians captured him on his return.

Through his wife Isabella of Sabran he claimed Achaea, seizing Clarenza in June 1315. His rival Matilda of Hainaut returned with Venetian and Burgundian forces, and Ferdinand was killed at the Battle of Manolada on 5 July 1316. His son by Isabella became King James III of Majorca.
