	Chapter 15: A History of Aragon and Catalonia
		Alfonso had taken possession of the towns which he had captured from the Duke of Anjou, and Juana suspected that he meant to reduce her to a position of complete inferiority, a suggestion which was made to the Queen by her Seneschal, Caraccioli, whose influence over her [217] was considerable.
		Alfonso's attempts to secure a meeting with the King of Castile came to nothing owing to the opposition of Juan's councillors, and in particular of Alvaro de Luna, and Alfonso began to consider that an invasion of Castile was the only means of securing a personal interview with the King.
