Martin I of Sicily (c. 1374/1376 – 25 July 1409), called "The Younger", was
King of Sicily from his marriage to Queen Maria
in 1390 until his death.
Martin's father was the future King
Peter, crown prince of Sicily, who died in 1400. He ruled Sicily jointly with Maria until her death at Lentini on 25 May 1401. At that time, he repudiated the Treaty of Villeneuve (1372) and ruled Sicily alone. After his death in 1409 in Cagliari, Sardinia
, his father, by then king of Aragon, ruled Sicily as Martin II.
After Maria's death Martin I the Younger married at
Pact of Caspe. Fadrique married Yolande Louise (Violante Luisa) de Mur and died at Urena
in 1438 without issue.
He also left a bastard daughter by Sicilian-born Agathe de Pesce, named
Enrique Pérez de Guzmán, 2nd Count de Niebla
(1371–1436); and second, she married Enrique's cousin Martín de Guzmán.
Martin the Younger led the troops in the conquest of
ruler of Arborea at the Battle of Sanluri
just before his own death.
