		The young woman attracted the attention of the king of Aragon after her fatherÕs second marriage was declared illegitimate, and Marie became the sole heir to the wealthy and prosperous urban seigneury of Montpellier.
		Her grudging capitulation in the face of PeterÕs strength was not necessarily a mark of personal weakness, and in the end she achieved her ultimate goal Ð a clear right to determine what became of her inheritance, and a secure future for her children.
		Marie was not the first heiress to marry into the nascent crown of Aragon and its predecessor, the county of Barcelona, but the stormy course of her marriage to Peter II offers a contrast to the more common patterns of independence, willing cooperation or virtual invisibility.

	MEDIEVAL WOMEN - Scriptorium: chronicle of Brother Salimbene
		When therefore Peter of Aragon had purposed to climb this mountain, wishing to learn by the sight of his own eyes what was on its summit, he called two knights who were his familiar friends, and whom he loved with all his heart; to whom he expounded that which he proposed to do.
		But Peter, who was brave and more vigorous than they, and who wished to fulfil the desire of his heart, comforted them, lest they should faint amid those afflictions and terrors, saying that this labour should yet redound to their honour and glory.
		Methinks that this achievement of Peter of Aragon may be reckoned with those of Alexander, who would exercise himself in many fearful deeds and works, that he might earn the praise of posterity.
