Life
He was the son and heir apparent of Martin I, King of Sicily. His mother was Blanche, who became Queen of Navarre in 1425. His parents got married on 26 November 1402.See Fodale (1999: 315). Queen Blanche's first pregnancy had ended in miscarriage.See Tramontana (1999: 16) Nevertheless, the young queen's second pregnancy was successful, and he was born on 17See Fodale (1999: 316–317). or 19See Tramontana (1999: 16) December 1406 in Sicily. He was baptized Martin after his father and grandfather, King Martin of Aragon, who informed the maternal grandfather, King Charles III of Navarre, of the birth.See Fodale (1999: 316–317).
Martin's grandaunt Violant of Bar, queen dowager of Aragon, proposed an engagement to her brother-in-law, King Martin the Elder, between their grandchildren, the new-born Martin and her granddaughter, Marie of Anjou.In 1422 she married King Charles VII of France. in order to see her offspring on the Aragonese throne.See Silleras-Fernández (2004: 195).
The little prince, however, died a few months later on August 1407 in the Sicily.See Tramontana (1999: 16) and Fodale (1999: 316–317). Not only did the dowager queen's hopes fail, but the continuity of the House of Barcelona was at risk. A few years later, the royal branch of the House of Barcelona became extinct in the legitimate male line.
