Thirteen men left Aragon in 1428 carrying a king's promise toward the court of Ethiopia's emperor, and none of them ever arrived. No names survive, no route, no graves — only a number and a silence that lasted twenty-two years. What was Alfonso of Aragon really trying to build across that distance, and why did a sovereign who could storm cities and outmaneuver popes fail to protect thirteen ordinary men?
In this episode, we trace Alfonso of Aragon's reign from his Castilian birth through his wars for Naples to the diplomatic overture from Yeshaq I of Ethiopia, asking how a king capable of reuniting kingdoms and commissioning triumphal architecture could not close the gap between ambition and the limits of the fifteenth-century world.
Person: Alfonso of Aragon
Location: Aragon (departure point); route and fate unknown

- Alfonso was born in 1396 at Medina del Campo.
- He was betrothed to Maria on 12 June 1415 at Valencia, a marriage that produced no children.
