The Battle for Mallorca
Llucmajor is a municipality on the island of Mallorca. In this town in the year 1349, Peter the Fourth, known as The Ceremonious, defeated James the Third of Mallorca with the resulting reincorporation of the Kingdom of Mallorca to the Crown of Aragon, at a spot which ever since is known as the Camp de sa Batalla (The Battlefield).
There are several theories regarding the etymological origin of the word Llucmajor. Although all coincide that the word Major is the Latin for the word “bigger”, there are discrepancies regarding the word Lluch. Some say it could come from the Arab terminology shaati, which denotes a “river-bank”; others hold that it comes from the Latin expression, lucus major, that is, “large forest”, supposing that in the area there once was a large forest or woodland; and finally, others sustain that it comes from the Latin term lumen, meaning “light”, although this last theory is unlikely.
