beautiful castle perched on a rocky outcrop just below the town of Mussomeli. It is said that the manor was built in just three years, between 1364 and 1367, on a previous Swabian fort, by order of Manfredi III of Chiaramonte, Duke of Modica, conquered by its location on an inaccessible hill that made it strategic from a military point of view. The fortress was at the center of an event that went down in history as the "Sala dei Baroni", which we are going to tell you about. Frederick III of Aragon, formally king of Trinacria (1355-1377), governed by establishing good relations with the notables of the island and, to do this, in 1374 he was a guest of Chiaramonte at the castle of Mussomeli with his daughter Maria of Sicily or of Aragon who, upon the death of her father, in 1377, still a minor, inherited the crown of Trinacria (1377-1401). Flanked by 4 vicars, Artale Alagona, Guglielmo Peralta, Francesco Ventimiglia and Manfredi Chiaramonte, she saw them clash because while Alagona intended to marry her to Gian Galeazzo Visconti, the powerful duke of Milan, Ventimiglia instead sided with the Aragonese prince Martino, future king of Aragon and Sicily. In the end, the latter, having the young ruler kidnapped, now compromised, thanks to the help of Guglielmo Raimondo Moncada, managed to marry her. This marital union, born with deception, was, however, disapproved by Pope Boniface IX, Alagona and Manfredi Chiaramonte who gathered in a room of the castle, from that moment on called the "Barons' Hall", the notables of the Island trying to convince them, but without success, of the illegitimacy of that marriage. When Martin the Elder Duke of Montblanc of Aragon, landed in Sicily in 1392, had himself crowned, in the cathedral of Palermo, king of Trinacria, the only ones who did not accept it were Artale Alagona and Manfredi Chiaramonte, who, as punishment, had all their assets confiscated, partly attributed to the Moncada family, loyal, instead, to the Aragonese.
