	Martin I of Aragon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The island of Sicily (the vassal kingdom of Trinacria) was thus intended to be a fief of Martin's descendants.
		Martin's military intervention rescued the imprisoned Benedict in 1403 from the clutches of his rivals and the Pope settled in Valencia's countryside.
		Thus, Martin's death led to a two-year interregnum, which was ended by the Pact of Caspe, in which Ferdinand I of Aragon, infante of Castile's House of Trastámara, younger son of a sister of Martin's, was chosen as the next king from among at least five contenders.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sicily
		Cyprian we learn that the Church in Sicily was in frequent relations with the Church in Rome and in Carthage, and that the questions discussed at those centres were followed with interest in the island.
		In the ninth century Syracuse was raised by the Patriarch of Constantinople to the rank of metropolis of Sicily and the adjacent islands.
		In 1377 Frederick III was succeeded by his only daughter Maria, who married (1392) Martin, son of Martin of Momblanco, son of Peter IV of Aragon; in 1409 the kingdom passed by inheritance to the elder Martin, and thus the island was united to the Kingdom of Aragon and ruled by a viceroy.

	SICILY
		Sicily remains what it has always been: a spectacular land of rugged mountains, golden wheat fields and rocky coasts inhabited by a fiercely independent people who bring passion to everything they do.
		Sicily is ruled by the clergy, with their promises of heaven or hell, and by the Mafia, with its power of life and death.
		Sicily, with its patchwork of cultures, is the perfect choice to learn about the history of Western civilization mostly reflected in its architecture: Greek temples and amphitheaters, Roman settlements, unique Norman-Arab churches and palaces, Bysantine and Gothic churches, fortified medieval castles, and Baroque churches and palaces.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Palermo
		At the death of Martin I (1409) Sicily was united with the Kingdom of Aragon, and at Palermo was governed by its own viceroys, independent of those of Naples after the conquest of the latter state by the Argonese.
		In fact, the customs of Sicily, and especially for the nobility, were left unchanged under Spanish rule, which was therefore peaceful, although the conduct of the troops of Diego Veru, returning from Tripoli in 1511, caused a sort of Second Vespers, soon suppressed, however, by the viceroy Moncada.
		In 1798, the royal family was driven by the Revolution to seek refuge in Sicily, and again by the French occupation in 1806.

	Sicily Wine Quarterly - Dedicated to Sicilian wines, wineries and wine culture.
		Here in Sicily, Autumn 2003 has been unseasonably warm, almost a continuation of the unusually torrid Summer --especially in coastal areas like Catania, Agrigento, Messina and Palermo-- so nobody is thinking about a second Summer, traditional or not.
		In Sicily, mature, high-sugar wine grapes are usually harvested a few weeks before the French grapes are ripe, and the earlier sale date is a potential marketing advantage for Sicilian vintners, so long as the season isn't too hot and dry.
		This winery in Castiglione di Sicilia, on the other side of Sicily, is oriented toward a general market but seems to have struck success with this year's novello.

	Best of Sicily - Early and Medieval History
		It was the Greeks whose mythology and folklore would assert the greatest influence on Sicily, and Sicily's museums are filled with religious artifacts and statues reflecting the important culture whose language, philosophy and law would form the very foundations of Western civilization.
		Greek myths associate the cult of Demeter, goddess of grain, with the city of Enna, high in the mountains of central Sicily; her daughter, Persephone, was abducted in a valley nearby.
		But though Sicily's Church was gradually becoming Latinized, and the Pope approved of the local crusade against the Muslims (and Frederick's own Crusade to the Holy Land), the Papacy was not always happy with the sovereign's use of power.

		Thus the decision to invade Sicily represented an uneasy compromise between coalition partners, a compromise that left the commanders in the field with an imperfect understanding of the ultimate purpose of the operation.
		By happy coincidence, Sicily's other major ports—Palermo, Catania, Augusta, and Syracuse—are also clustered in the northwestern and southeastern corners of the island, as were the majority of the island's thirty major airfields.
		Sicily was thus an important victory for the Allies, but not a decisive one.

		The forces against Sicily were preponderant, and although Frederick and his Sicilian and mercenary army had some success, Sicily was falling to the hands of the French, who occupied Catania in 1301 and concluded a temporary armistice.
		This was a very humiliating treaty for Sicily, due to the ineptitude of its king, Frederick IV and to the feudal anarchy existing in Sicily because of the strife among the barons.

	Sicilian Novello 'Nouveau' Wines - Best of Sicily Magazine
		The Italian wine industry has experienced two decades of rapid growth in both the quantity and quality of its offerings, and the "nouveau" red wines of autumn have become a surprisingly successful fixture in this welcome trend, which perhaps is long overdue.
		This brings us to an interesting point, namely the fact that Sicily's novellos stand among the heartiest nouveaus of Europe --not surprising considering that the island's vintage Nero d'Avolas are some of the world's most dominant reds.
		As a complement to the stronger Sicilian novellos, best consumed within seven months of their bottling dates, distinctive meat courses such as lamb and even "red" fish like salmon or fresh tuna (the kind used in sushi) are often recommended, but the choice really depends on your mood.

	Martin
		Martin is the English form of Martinus, a variant of Martius, a Latin name meaning “Of Mars,” the Roman god of war.
		Martin, being the name of St. Martin of Tours (a popular medieval saint) was common all over Europe and can be found in northern France from the 9th century onwards.
		It never became really unpopular in Protestant countries, however, probably because it was Martin Luther who began the Reformation.
