Editing Ausiàs March (section)

==Biography==
Not much is known of March's life. He was born in approximately 1400 to a Valencian noble family. His father, [[Pere March]], was himself a poet and served at the court of the younger brother of King [[Alfonso IV of Aragon|Alfonso IV]], Peter. His uncle, [[Jaume March II]], was also a poet. March was one of the two children of Pere's second wife, Lionor of Ripoll; he had a younger sister, Peirona.<ref name="Bio@Iluisvives.com">{{cite web | url=http://www.lluisvives.com/bib_autor/ausiasmarch//include/pausiasmarch_autor.jsp | title=Ausiàs March – L'autor | publisher=Iluisvives.com | access-date=19 March 2014 | language=ca}}</ref>

In 1413, the still-young March became head of his family—part of the Valencian petty nobility—upon the death of his father. From a very young age he took part in the expeditions that King [[Alfons V of Aragon|Alfons el Magnànim]] carried out in the Mediterranean. After returning from these expeditions in 1427, he settled in [[Gandia]]. After his return, he would never again leave the region where he was born. March was twice married: first to Isabel Martorell (sister of the writer [[Joanot Martorell]]), and later to Joana Escorna.

In 1450, he moved from Gandia to [[Valencia]]. It was there that he died on March 3, 1459. While March himself was buried in his family's chapel at the [[Valencia Cathedral]], his two wives and family are buried in the [[Monastery of Sant Jeroni de Cotalba]].<ref>[[Las Provincias]].
