The fate of the Queen Sibil·la

Imprisoned, at first in Barcelona and then in the castle of Montcada, Sibil·la and her brother, Bernat de Fortià, agreed with the new king Joan I to renounce all their property previously granted by King Pere. In exchange, the new monarch promised them an annual pension (20,000 salaries for Sibil·la and 12,000 for Bernat) and, most importantly, to safeguard their lives. Finally, Sibil·la moved to Barcelona, where she died on 24 November 1406, at the age of fifty-six. Against all odds, King Martin I organized a funeral with all the honors. He ordered that the Queens body be covered in myrrh, dressed in Franciscan habits and displayed in the Palau Menor in Barcelona for a few days so that the citizenship could pay homage to her. On 12th December the burial took place, and she was buried in the chapel of Sant Nicolau in the convent of Sant Francesc in Barcelona.
