- Pere de Queralt i de Pinós (1350 ca. - 1408) va ser baró de Queralt, militar i escriptor, fill de Dalmau de Queralt i Constança de Pinós. El 1378 o 1379 es casa amb Clemència de Perellós, germana de la seva madastra Clemència de Perellós, amb qui el baró Dalmau s'havia casat en segones núpcies. En morir aquest el 1387, Pere assumeix la baronia. En les Corts Generals de Montsó de 1389 forma part dels nobles que s’enfronten a Joan I per tal que el rei expulsi de la cort a Carroça de Vilaragut. No obstànt això, la relació entre Pere i la monarquia és fluida en els següents anys. El 1392 participa en l'expedició de l’infant Martí a Sicília, el seu viatge és finançat per la Universitat de Santa Coloma de Queralt. Dos anys més tard, consta com a testimoni en els capítols firmats pel Joan I i Violant de Bar amb el mercader Luquino Scarampo. Actuant ja com a monarca, Martí l’Humà l'envia a Tunis per recuperar set sagrades formes robades per l'exèrcit musulmà a Torreblanca (1396), en una missió exitosa. Aquest mateix any, també és nomenat ambaixador davant el rei de Nàpols Ladislau. En la coronació del rei Martí a Saragossa, els fills del baró -Pere, Guerau i Jordi- van ser nomenats cavallers (1399). 1401 és un any intens pel baró. A principis de segle, el rei Martí li ordena que torni a Tunis, on romandrà almenys fins a 1403, en aquest cas per alliberar el bisbe de Siracusa. A més, arbitra en la lluita de bàndols entre els Oluges i els Cireres, i cedeix la baronia de Queralt, al seu fill Pere. En morir el primogènit abans que el pare, la baronia recaurà en el fill Guerau. El 1407 marxa a residir a Sicília , on contracta a Guerau Gener per construir un retaule a la catedral de Montreale. El baró morirà a la tardor de 1408. El 3 de novembre es comença a fer l’inventari dels béns del baró. En el testament que havia fet el 1402, havia sol·licitat ser enterrat a la capella de sant Miquel de Santa Maria de Bell-lloc, a Santa Coloma de Queralt. (ca)
- Pere de Queralt (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpeɾə ðə kəˈɾal]; died 1408) was a Catalan nobleman, diplomat, and poet; "una destacada figura del seu temps" (a distinguished figure of his age). He was the nephew of Guerau de Queralt, husband of Clemença de Perellós, and lord of Santa Coloma. He is not to be confused with the knight Pere de Queralt of the thirteenth century, who reportedly fought a lion and won: an act commemorated in a carved vault keystone in the church of in Santa Coloma. In 1389 Pere was one of the barons that revolted against John I at after having signed the sentence against Carroça de Vilaragut. Pere joined the rebels in order to advance his stepmother and sister-in-law, Lionor de Perellós, who was subsequently raised to Carroça's former position. In 1392 Pere participated in an expedition to Sicily. In 1397, after becoming a councillor and chamberlain of the king, he went on a diplomatic mission to Rome to participate in negotiations to resolve the Western Schism. There he probably first encountered Italian literature. In July that same year, the king received a petition for aid from some Christian captives held at Tunis. When Pere returned to Valencia from Rome in January 1398 he was immediately sent, with one galley, to Tunis to negotiate their freedom. This he successfully did by promising to restore some sacred Muslim objects taken during the sack of . In 1398 he actively supported the Crusade waged by Martin of Aragon against the Berbers in Africa. In April 1399 and then in 1402–3 he was again ambassador to Tunis. This last embassy resulted in a peace treaty, but the rescue of only a select few captives. Pere died in 1408. Pere left behind a sizable collection of books, which were catalogued by his widow. The record indicates that Pere owned several Old French books: a Lancelot, a Roman de la Rose, three chansonniers, a Tristan, and a Remey d'amor, probably a translation of Ovid's Remedia amoris. As a poet himself, Pere was also interested in works of grammar and language. His library included the Razos de trobar of Raimon Vidal de Bezaudun and the Libre de concordances (or Diccionari de rims) of Jaume March II. Pere as poet has left us only one piece, Sens pus tardar me ve de vos partir (or Ses pus tardar me ve de vós partir). The language of the poem is unique, consisting of a Catalan base which has accrued a patina of Occitanisms. The poem is a harsh and violent maldit-comiat, in which Pere accuses his lady of having three lovers in a single day. When Pere takes leave of his lady, he does so with a metaphor of the rabasta. He will not sing for his lady any more "cançó, dansa ni lai", since she has turned such things into a rabasta, the part of saddle that wraps around a horse's posterior between its tail and its buttocks. The reference suggests that Pere composed songs previously, and in the French tradition, though none survive. Sens pus tardar me ve de vos partir is written in an Italian style (though not an Italian tone). Pere seems to have been inspired by the sonnet Benedetto sia'l giorno e'l mese e l'anno by Petrarch. Pere is one of the first Italianate writers of Catalonia, yet his style cannot be called Petrarchan because of its brazen tone; rather it is a parody of Petrarch. (en)
