In 1354 Manfredi was besieged in Lentini by the Aragonese troops of [[Artale I Alagona]]; the latter was able to capture it by treason only in 1360.

At the death of king [[Frederick the Simple|Frederick III]], Manfredi became one of four viceroys, ruling the kingdom for [[Maria, Queen of Sicily]]. Maria was kidnapped by the Aragonese and forced to marry [[Martin I of Sicily|Martin I]] the Younger. Manfredi fought against Aragonese power.<br /> <br /> Manfredi Chiaramonte died in Palermo in 1391. His son, Andrea Chiaramonte, governor of Palermo, was beheaded in 1392 by [[Martin I of Aragon]] (Martin the Elder) after the fall of Palermo. With the fall of the family from power, his daughter Costanza was divorced by the King Ladislaus and forced to marry a local Neapolitan noble.<br /> <br /> {{Authority control}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Chiaramonte, Manfredi 3}}<br /> [[Category:Chiaramonte family|Manfredi]]<br /> [[Category:14th-century births]]<br /> [[Category:1391 deaths]]<br /> [[Category:Lords in Italy]]<br /> [[Category:14th-century Sicilian people]]<br /> [[Category:Counts of Malta]]</div>
