The War of the (Sicilian) Vespers, which starts with the insurrection of the Sicilian Vespers against Charles of Anjou in 1282, finally ends with the peace of Caltabellotta in 1302.

It is fought in Sicily, Catalonia (the Aragonese Crusade) and elsewhere in the western Mediterranean between, on the one side, the Angevin claimants Charles of Anjou and his son, Charles II and the kings of France, their relatives, backed by the Papacy and, on the other side, the kings of Aragon.
