Editing Almogavars (section)

=== Late period ===
The Aragonese Almogavars also distinguished themselves in the war against Castile (1296–1304), where they participated in considerable numbers, but in the 14th century their numbers dropped drastically because of the end of major wars of expansion and because a large number of them went to take part in the expedition of Peter the Great to Sicily, from which many never returned but instead continued fighting in Italy, having enrolled in [[Guelphs and Ghibellines|Guelph]] armies or in the Catalan Company.

The vacuum left never refilled, but yet were so remarkable in the crusade against [[Almería|Almeria]] (1309), in the campaigns of Granada (1330–1334), against the king of Mallorca (1343–1344), in expeditions to [[Sardinia]] (1353, 1354 and 1367), and yet again against Castile (1356–1369), but in the latter they no longer made up the bulk of the infantry but rather were special units for dangerous and explorers' raids.<ref name=":2"><span class="reference-text">''Diccionari d'Història de Catalunya'', ed. 62; Barcelona; 1998; {{ISBN|84-297-3521-6}}; p. 31.</span></ref> In 1384–1385 some small groups of 30 to 100 Almogavars participated in the war against the Earl of [[Empúries|Ampurias]]. Shortly after, they defended the Principality of Catalonia against the invasion attempt of the Armagnac count in 1390, and the next attempt of the [[Foix]] count from 1396 up to 1397.<ref name=":2" /> In the 15th century, there were still groups of Almogavars in the Italian wars of [[Alfonso the Magnanimous]].
