Matthew of Moncada was count of

grand seneschal of the Kingdom of Sicily under Frederick the Simple.[1]

He was the son of William Raymond II of Moncada and his wife, Margaret Sclafani.

He was twice appointed as

Byzantine province of Mystras had formed, which defeated Roger's Turks in a naval battle off Megara and forced him to come to terms in 1365.[3] Despite the fact that the Catalan lords of Athens were now willing to affirm their submission to the King, Moncada was reluctant to go to Greece, where the situation was unstable and perilous; as a result, King Frederick was forced to legitimize Roger de Llúria's power and acknowledge him as vicar-general in late 1366.[4]
