Before he became a Franciscan (November 1358, 12th) infant Peter of Aragon wrote a king's mirror (Pe regimine principum) dedicated to his nefew, King Peter IV of Aragon. In this text, known from a single 18th Century manuscript, he describes the ideal king and advises him. Thanks to its sources and many quotations and explanations, this text is quite close to biblical commentaries and sermons, but its structure and lack of Aristotelian quotations distinguish it from Gilles' of Rome famous De regimine principum. Infant Peter's is also very influenced by his political pragmatism at the beginning of the war against Castila: he recognises king's power is limited and dependant from his subjects' military and financial support.
