The Aragonese Expedition to Tunisia began when Alfonso V of Aragon ordered an attack against the islands of Djerba and Kerkennah Islands, bases of pirates who attacked Sicily.[3]
Count Frederic de Luna and commanded a fleet that was collected by Peter of Aragon, the king's brother, who was resisting in Naples after the failure of Alfonso the Magnanimous's naval campaign.[4] The fleet followed the coast to Genoa, blocking it, and intervening in the ports of Lestri, Bonifacio and Portofino. Djerba was impossible for them to conquer because it was well garrisoned but they managed to capture between 2.000 and 3.500 people.[5] On the other hand, in the Kerkennah Islands the victory was complete and a lot of booty was obtained, capturing 3.000 people.[6] They still dared to attack the city of Tunis, but it avoided the attack by giving them numerous presents and freeing many Christian prisoners. Ausiàs March participated in this expedition.[7]
