\tJaime II de Arag\u00f3n<\/span>, un rey<\/span> emprendedor<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\tAl patrimonio<\/span> hist\u00f3rico<\/span> de la villa pertenece<\/span> igualmente<\/span> el episodio<\/span> conocido<\/span> como<\/span> la Farsa<\/span> de Gandesa<\/span>. Pese<\/span> a su<\/span> t\u00edtulo<\/span>, fue<\/span> una<\/span> boda<\/span> real con toda<\/span> la solemnidad<\/span> de esos<\/span> eventos<\/span>, y su<\/span> denominaci\u00f3n<\/span> se debe<\/span> al peculiar desenlace<\/span> del casorio<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tUno de los protagonistas<\/span> del episodio<\/span> fue<\/span> el padre del novio<\/span>, Jaime II (Valencia, 1267-Barcelona, 1327), apodado<\/span> el Justo<\/span>, coronado<\/span> en 1291 como<\/span> rey<\/span> de Arag\u00f3n<\/span> y Valencia y conde<\/span> de Barcelona. H\u00e1bil<\/span> diplom\u00e1tico<\/span> pero<\/span> tambi\u00e9n<\/span> gobernante<\/span> decidido<\/span>, merced<\/span> a tratados<\/span> o guerras<\/span> ampli\u00f3<\/span> sus<\/span> dominios<\/span> con la actual provincia<\/span> de Alicante, el valle<\/span> de Ar\u00e1n<\/span>, la isla<\/span> de Menorca<\/span>, C\u00f3rcega<\/span>, Cerde\u00f1a<\/span>, Sicilia<\/span>, parte<\/span> de Calabria<\/span> y las<\/span> islas<\/span> del golfo<\/span> de N\u00e1poles<\/span>. Su reinado<\/span> estuvo<\/span> orientado<\/span> hacia<\/span> la expansi\u00f3n<\/span> mediterr\u00e1nea<\/span>, proyecto<\/span> que<\/span> exig\u00eda<\/span> garant\u00edas<\/span> de seguridad<\/span> en su<\/span> retaguardia<\/span>, fronteriza<\/span> con Francia<\/span> y Castilla<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tEl papa Bonifacio<\/span> VIII lo distingui\u00f3<\/span> con el t\u00edtulo<\/span> de Capit\u00e1n<\/span> General, Portaestandarte<\/span> y Almirante<\/span> de la Iglesia<\/span>, honor bien<\/span> avenido<\/span> con el car\u00e1cter<\/span> del monarca<\/span>, que<\/span> era hombre devoto<\/span>, obsesionado<\/span> con liberar<\/span> los Santos Lugares<\/span> del dominio<\/span> sarraceno<\/span>; no en vano<\/span> promovi\u00f3<\/span> la fallida<\/span> unificaci\u00f3n<\/span> de todas<\/span> las<\/span> \u00f3rdenes<\/span> militares<\/span> de la Cristiandad<\/span> en un solo ej\u00e9rcito<\/span>, que<\/span> deb\u00eda<\/span> caer<\/span> cual<\/span> plaga<\/span> b\u00edblica<\/span> sobre<\/span> los infieles<\/span> mahometanos<\/span> (un plan de acci\u00f3n<\/span> alentado<\/span> por<\/span> los escritos<\/span> del fil\u00f3sofo<\/span> y te\u00f3logo<\/span> Ramon Llull<\/span>). Sin embargo, la mayor frustraci\u00f3n<\/span> de su<\/span> vida<\/span> estuvo<\/span> ligada<\/span> a la Iglesia<\/span>; m\u00e1s<\/span> concretamente<\/span>, al deseo<\/span> de tomar<\/span> los h\u00e1bitos<\/span> de su<\/span> hijo<\/span> mayor, el infante<\/span> Jaime.<\/p>\n

\tAcuerdos<\/span> matrimoniales<\/span> con Castilla<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\tJaime II hab\u00eda<\/span> intentado<\/span> sellar<\/span> la paz<\/span> con los castellanos<\/span> mediante<\/span> un enlace matrimonial, al desposar<\/span> (1291) a la infanta<\/span> Isabel, hija<\/span> de Sancho<\/span> IV de Castilla<\/span>. Sin embargo, qued\u00f3<\/span> viudo<\/span> poco<\/span> despu\u00e9s<\/span> de casado<\/span>. Ocho<\/span> a\u00f1os<\/span> despu\u00e9s<\/span>, exigencias<\/span> de Estado<\/span> le obligaron<\/span> a contraer<\/span> nuevos<\/span> esponsales<\/span>, esta<\/span> vez<\/span> con Blanca de Anjou, hija<\/span> del rey<\/span> de Sicilia<\/span>, Carlos de Anjou, y prima de Felipe III de Francia<\/span>. Sin embargo, el soberano<\/span> aragon\u00e9s<\/span> se cuid\u00f3<\/span> de acordar<\/span> un nuevo<\/span> compromiso<\/span> matrimonial que<\/span> facilitara<\/span> las<\/span> relaciones<\/span> diplom\u00e1ticas<\/span> con Castilla<\/span>; esta<\/span> vez<\/span>, el implicado<\/span> en el pacto<\/span> fue<\/span> su<\/span> primog\u00e9nito<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tLas capitulaciones<\/span> de la boda<\/span> se firmaron<\/span> en el monasterio<\/span> de Huerta<\/span> (Soria<\/span>), en 1311. La novia<\/span>, Leonor<\/span> de Castilla<\/span>, solo ten\u00eda<\/span> cuatro<\/span> a\u00f1os<\/span>; el novio<\/span>, dieciocho<\/span>. Como prenda<\/span>, el rey<\/span> de Castilla<\/span> Fernando IV –excu\u00f1ado<\/span> del aragon\u00e9s–<\/span> ofreci\u00f3<\/span> los castillos<\/span> de Atienza<\/span>, Gormaz<\/span>, Osma<\/span>, Caneren<\/span> y Monteagudo<\/span> de Murcia; el aragon\u00e9s<\/span>, las<\/span> fortalezas<\/span> de \u00a0Borja<\/span>,\u00a0Ariza<\/span>, Verdeo<\/span>,\u00a0Bordalba<\/span>, Somero<\/span>\u00a0y Mal\u00f3n<\/span>.

\tLa Farsa<\/span> de Gandesa<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\tLlegada<\/span> la novia<\/span> a edad<\/span> n\u00fabil<\/span>, la corte<\/span> castellana<\/span> reclam\u00f3<\/span> el cumplimiento<\/span> del pacto<\/span> matrimonial y la ceremonia<\/span> de esponsales<\/span> qued\u00f3<\/span> fijada<\/span> para<\/span> el d\u00eda<\/span> 17 de octubre<\/span> de 1319, en la ciudad<\/span> de Gandesa<\/span>, muy<\/span> cercana<\/span> a la localidad<\/span> turolense<\/span> de Lled\u00f3<\/span>, donde<\/span> viv\u00eda<\/span> retirado<\/span> el infante<\/span> desde<\/span> hac\u00eda<\/span> una<\/span> larga<\/span> temporada<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tDe este<\/span> modo<\/span>, Gandesa<\/span> se convirti\u00f3<\/span> por<\/span> unos<\/span> d\u00edas<\/span> en sede<\/span> de las<\/span> dos principales<\/span> cortes<\/span> peninsulares<\/span>. Los esponsales<\/span> se celebraron<\/span> en la parroquial<\/span> de la Asunci\u00f3n<\/span>, un templo<\/span> que<\/span> conserva<\/span> algunas<\/span> trazas<\/span> de su<\/span> pasado<\/span> esplendor<\/span> rom\u00e1nico<\/span>, entre<\/span> ellas<\/span> el portal de medio<\/span> punto<\/span> con arquivoltas<\/span> ricamente<\/span> decoradas<\/span> en relieve (se distinguen<\/span> cabezas<\/span> monstruosas<\/span>, figuras<\/span> humanas<\/span> y de animales<\/span>, formas<\/span> vegetales<\/span> y motivos<\/span> geom\u00e9tricos<\/span>).

\t\u00bfLa huida<\/span> del infante<\/span> supuso<\/span> una<\/span> sorpresa<\/span> para<\/span> los presentes<\/span>?
