Abstract

In 1353, the judge of Arborea, the most powerful ally and vassal of king Peter "the Ceremonious" in Sardinia, rose up and attacked the king’s territories in the island, cooperating with rebels and enemies of the king, such as Genoa, Milan and the Doria family. In 1354, Peter “the Ceremonious”, king of Aragon, led a powerful army to Sardinia, intending to fight his enemies in their territories. The 1354 campaign was carefully planned, but the resistance of the city of Alghero stopped the royal army and fleet operations, challenging a logistical system unable to support such a huge and unsupplied military expedition. This paper demonstrates the way geostrategic, political, operational and logistical realities were closely linked to configure the profile of a powerful military campaign, and how these realities can be useful to understand broader military, political and historical changes.
