Marianus IV (in Sardinian: Marianu IV de Arbarèe, in aragonese: Marià IV d'Arborea, 1319–1376), called the Great,^[1][2][3] was the Judge (king) of Arborea, kingdom in the island of Sardinia, from 1347 to his death. He was, as his nickname indicates, the greatest sovereign of Arborea. He was a legislator and a warrior whose reign saw the commencement of massive codification of the laws of his realm and incessant warfare with the Crown of Aragon. He was also a religious man, who had connections to Catherine of Siena. He was, in short, a "wise legislator, able politician, and valiant warrior."^[4]
