Markham is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the rich history of the Balearic Islands, specifically Majorca and Minorca, detailing their conquests and governance from an Aragonese perspective. It aims to fill a gap in English-language histories of this significant Mediterranean area and offers insights into key historical figures, such as King Jayme I of Aragon. The opening of the book establishes the context of the historical narrative, beginning with the Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula and the subsequent rise of Aragon as a force to reclaim territories, including the Balearic Islands. The narrative dives into the motivations of King Jayme I, detailing his ambitions to conquer Majorca from the Moors. It describes his preparations for the expedition, including assembling an army and naval fleet, and highlights the geographical beauty of Majorca, which played a role in the island's allure. The passage sets the stage for the detailed exploration of the battles, political maneuvers, and the rich cultural history of the islands that follows in the subsequent chapters.
