JAMES IL (c. 1260-1327), king of Aragon, grandson of James I. and son of Peter III. and Constance, daughter of Man fred of Beneventum, was left king of Sicily (1285) by his father. Upon inheriting Aragon on the death of his brother Alphonso (1291), he resigned Sicily and married Blanca, daughter of Charles of Anjou, king of Naples, in the endeavour to restore peace between his family and the Angevin house.
