In 1343, Peter IV of Aragon sought to expand his kingdom of Aragon towards Greece. However, his ships were unable to pass through Majorcan waters. To rectify this, Peter IV launched a war against the Majorcans, landing an army in Santa Ponsa, while also attacking northward into Majorcan-controlled Cerdanya and Roussillon, conquering them by 1345.^[1]

King James III of Majorca led the defense against the Aragonese assault. The forces encountered each other at Llucmajor. The battle lasted all night long and ended in a tremendous loss, and saw the destruction of the Majorcan army, leading to Peter IV taking over Majorca. King James III died in the battle, while his son James IV was taken prisoner.^[1][3]

Violante of Vilaragut was taken prisoner in the fighting.
