Medieval Europe left a wealth of archival materials to construct a prosopographical study of Arnau de Vilanova's connections. This article draws on some of these materials to expose the workings of Arnau de Vilanova's arrest in Paris by the offi cial of the bishop's court. This unfortunate event occurred on his mission in 1300 to the King of France on behalf of the Kings of Aragon and Mallorca. The material in this paper includes a new Arnaldian document from a French inquiry in December 1300 into tax policies imposed on Mediterranean merchant ships from the Crown of Aragon and Mallorca. The consequence of the new French coastal policy was one of the three issues Arnau de Vilanova conveyed to King Philippe of France at Becoiseau in August 1300.
