* [[July 4]] &ndash; [[Battle of Cape Orlando]]: An Aragonese-Angevin fleet (some 60 galleys) led by Admiral [[Roger of Lauria]] defeats a Sicilian fleet near [[Kingdom of Sicily|Sicily]]. During the battle, the larger Aragonese fleet is trapped on a [[lee shore]], but can exploit the situation with the intervention of its 6 reserve galleys. The Sicilians flee when the flagship, with King [[Frederick III of Sicily]] on board, pulls back after he collapses from heat exhaustion. Lauria captures 18 Sicilian ships, and orders the massacre of their crews to avenge the death of his nephew at the hands of Frederick.<ref>Rodgers, William Ledyard (1967).
