Peter of Aragon considered the war over in 1361, after a peace treaty was signed in May of that year ("la pau de Deça," May 18, 1361), but hostilities erupted again before the summer was out, and by September Calatayud had fallen to Castile.

 Peter the Venerable's Traverse of Spain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)

Peter's own trip in 1142, which followed receipt of an express inuitatio of Alfonso VII, and can be linked to the fate of the ever more indispensable Hispanic census and to a disputed election to the see of Compostela, was clearly another such exceptional venture.
Peter does not specifically mention his stopping at Estella, as he does at Nájera, but this can legitimately be inferred from his admiring description of the castle there and its surroundings, and also from the phrase ut aestimo used to justify the toponym Stella.
