Reading edition
By letters dated on the 23rd of May, 1462, the King of Arragon pledged the counties of Roussillon and Cerdagne to Louis XI. for the sum of 300,000 golden crowns, on condition that Louis should supply him with a sufficient number of troops to reduce Catalonia, and to carry on the war in Arragon and Valencia. These counties were restored to Castile by the Treaty of Barcelona, signed on the 19th of January, 1493.—Prescott’s Ferdinand and Isabella, vol. ii. p. 249.
