1. Title: "Roger of Lauria (1245-1305): The Great Sicilian-Aragonese Admiral" This colored engraving portrays Roger of Lauria, a legendary figure from the 13th and 14th centuries, who rose to prominence as a brilliant admiral in the Sicilian-Aragonese navy. Born in the southern Italian region of Apulia, Roger's military career began under the Angevin rulers of Sicily before he defected to the Aragonese crown. The image, created by the skilled hand of Serrapausas, showcases Roger in full regalia, complete with a richly adorned shield emblazoned with the Aragonese coat of arms. His imposing presence is further emphasized by the intricate details of his armor and the grandeur of his attire. The engraving, titled "Roger of Lauria" and published in "Spanish Glories," is a testament to the admiral's enduring legacy. Roger of Lauria's military prowess was demonstrated in numerous battles, most notably during the Sicilian Vespers, a pivotal moment in Mediterranean history. His tactical brilliance and innovative naval strategies led to the Aragonese victory, marking the end of Angevin rule in Sicily and the beginning of a new era. As a commander, Roger was known for his unwavering loyalty to his monarchs and his ability to inspire his soldiers. His reputation as a formidable adversary and a respected leader earned him the moniker "The Great Admiral." This engraving serves as a visual reminder of the significant role Roger of Lauria played in shaping the political landscape of the Mediterranean world during the Middle Ages.
