king of See also:Aragon (1174-1213), son of See also:Alphonso II. and his wife Sancia, daughter of Alphonso VIII. of See also:Castile, was See also:born in 1174. He had a very marked and curious See also:personal See also:character. As See also:sovereign of lands on both sides of the See also:Pyrenees, he was affected by very different influences. In his character of See also:Spanish See also:prince he was a crusader, and he took a distinguished See also:part in the See also:great victory over the See also:Almohades at the Navas de Tolosa in 1212. But his lands to the See also:north of the Pyrenees brought him into See also:close relations with the Albigenses. He was a favourer of the troubadours, and in his ways of See also:life he indulged in the laxity of Provencal morals to the fullest extent. We are told in the See also:chronicle written by Desclot soon after his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

that Peter was only trapped into cohabiting with his wife by the See also:device which is See also:familiar to readers of Measure for Measure. In the See also:year after the See also:battle of the Navas de Tolosa he took up arms against the crusaders of See also:Simon of See also:Montfort, moved not by sympathy with the Albigenses, but by the natural See also:political hostility of the See also:southern princes to the conquering intervention of the north under pretence of religious zeal. His son records the way in which he spent the See also:night before the battle of Muret with a crudity of See also:language which defies See also:translation, and tells us that his See also:father was too exhausted in the See also:morning to stand at See also:Mass, and had to be lifted into the See also:saddle by his squires. Peter none the less showed the greatest personal valour, and his See also:body, recognizable by his lofty stature and personal beauty, was found on the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)
