Bonifacio VIII e la nascita del regnum Sardinie et Corsice
Boniface VIII and the birth of the Regnum Sardinie et Corsice
Abstract
The enfeoffment of the Regnum Sardinie et Corsice to James II of Aragon by Boniface VIII was not the result of an impromptu decision without historical and legal foundations, but a thoughtful solution agreed upon with the main European powers (especially the Anjou and the Catalan-Aragonese king), which should have allowed the solution of the complex conflict originated by the Sicilian Vespers, as well as the definitive affirmation of pontifical sovereignty over territories claimed by the Apostolic See for centuries.
L’infeudazione del regnum Sardinie et Corsice a Giacomo II d’Aragona da parte di Bonifacio VIII non fu l’esito di una decisione estemporanea e priva di fondamenti storici e giuridici, ma una soluzione ponderata e concordata con le principali potenze europee (soprattutto gli Angiò e il re catalano-aragonese), che avrebbe dovuto consentire la soluzione del complesso conflitto originato dai Vespri siciliani, nonché l’affermazione definitiva della sovranità pontificia su territori rivendicati dalla Sede apostolica da secoli.
