Bernat II de Cabrera
14th century Aragonese nobleman
Bernat II de Cabrera (Spanish: Bernardo II de Cabrera; 1298–1364) was a Catalan nobleman, diplomat, and military commander. Born in Calatayud, he participated in the conquest of Mallorca (1343). He commanded the fleet that defeated the Genoese navy and took Alghero in 1353.
As the ambassador of Peter IV of Aragon, he negotiated the Peace of Deza between Castile and Aragon on May 18, 1361, during the War of the Two Peters.
The war, however, later continued, and when Cabrera refused to further support Peter's allies Henry of Trastámara and Charles the Bad of Navarre against Pedro of Castile, Cabrera fell into disfavor at court and was executed as a traitor at Zaragoza.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Bernat II de Cabrera” as 14th century Aragonese nobleman. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 14th century Aragonese nobleman. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16182181. VIAF identifies the subject as 1923214. The Library of Congress control number is n2007067613. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1298, 1364, 1343 and 1353.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
