Pedro II (of Aragón) (1174-1213), king of Aragón (1196-1213), son of Alfonso II and Sancha of Castile. In 1204 Pedro had himself crowned by Pope Innocent III in order to secure papal protection against his own nobles and the Albigensians, the followers of a heretical Christian sect of the Middle Ages (see Albigenses). Pedro went so far as to offer his kingdom as a papal fief in 1204. In return he received the title el Católico (the Catholic). Pedro took part in the battle against the Muslim Almohads at Navas de Tolosa in 1212. He was killed in the battle of Muret the following year during an attack on Anglo-Norman soldier Simon IV de Montfort.
