Un recorrido vibrante por la Corona de Aragón entre Jaime II “el Justo” y Alfonso V, donde la política pactista se entrelaza con batallas navales, intrigas diplomáticas y el pulso de unas Cortes que exigen juramentos y libertades reales. El volumen abre con la paz trabajada con Castilla, los acuerdos con Francia y el Papado, y los pactos que redefinen Sicilia, Córcega y Cerdeña tras las Vísperas Sicilianas, con episodios estelares de Roger de Lauria y negociaciones ante Bonifacio VIII y los Anjou.​ Desde Pedro IV “el Ceremonioso” se proyecta un Mediterráneo en tensión.

Este volumen cubre del primer tercio del siglo XVI al inicio del XVII, enlazando las Germanías de Valencia y Mallorca con la especificidad catalana: malestar social sin insurrección general, auge del bandolerismo y tensiones con la corte de Madrid que erosionan el pactismo medieval catalán.
