This article discusses a famous agreement between King Alfonso V of Aragon
and Naples and the Grand Duke of Bosnia, Stjepan Vukčić Kosača signed on 19 February
1444, as a result of both political and millitary circumstances that had brought, in that
particular moment, the local interests of one Bosnian lord and the foreign policy plans and
ambitions of the most powerful Mediterranean ruler to the same level. It also offers a new
interpretation of this treaty in terms of its practical application, as well as its re-reading and
translation, based on a high-resolution facsimile.
