Leonardo Alagon, even Alagón or de Alagón, (1436 in Oristano – 1494 in Xativa), was the last marquis of Oristano (1470–1478). Biography Marquis of Oristano and Count of Goceano In 1470, following the death of the Marquis of Oristano Salvatore Cubello (male line descendant from Hugh II of Arborea), the ownership of the estate passed to the heir designated by testamentary act, his nephew Leonardo Alagon, firstborn (eight children) of his sister Benedetta Cubello and the noble Artaldo Alagon y Luna, sir Pina de Ebro, Sástago and other countries. Already Artaldo, descended from the first "ricos hombres" Aragonese, rebelled against the Crown: in 1410 under the command of four ships with Cassiano Doria, stormed Longone defended by the Aragonese. The Marquis Leonardo married Maria Linan de Morillo, from which were born four males, who had no heirs, and two females. This succession, due to the rebellious behavior of the father of Leonardo, Artaldo, was opposed military by the viceroy of Sardinia, Nicolò Carroz d'Arborea, lord of Mandas and Terranova Pausania, who aspired to the possession of that vast territory, asserting that the will had no value, because the king had already decided that after the death of Cubello, the Marquisate of Oristano and the County of Goceano would be incorporated into the Crown of Aragon. The first battle took place April 14, 1470 near Uras, where prevailed the Alagon, while Carroz had to retreat to Cagliari. In 1474, with the peace treaty of Urgell, King John II of Aragon (called the Great), recognized Leonardo Alagon the right of succession, but the provocative conduct of Carroz did break out again the war. The viceroy did not dare to face his rival in the open field, he went to Barcelona and persuaded the king to proceed against the Marquis on charges of treason and felony and the subsequent confiscation of fiefs and the death penalty. By decree of 1477, the king extended the condemnation to the entire Alagon family. The conflict also spread to northern areas, where the Alagon had been promised aid by the Genoese and the duke of Milan, but they did not arrive. Instead the Carroz got well-armed troops from Sicily and Naples. Battle of Macomer On 19 May 1478 the army of Alagon was decisively defeated at the Battle of Macomer. Leonardo, before the defeat, left the battlefield and with his brothers, the sons and the Viscount of
