For the poet, see Louis Aragon. For the Olympic medallist, see Aragon (horse).'' Aragon (Spanish language and Aragonese language: ''Aragón''; Catalan language: Aragó) is an autonomous communities of Spain of north-eastern Spain. It has an area of 1 E10 m2 with a population of 1,217,514 (2003). Aragon is bounded on the north by France, on the east by Catalonia, on the south by Valencia (autonomous community), and on the west by Castile-La Mancha, Castile-Leon, La Rioja, and Navarre (Spanish: Navarra). It comprises the provinces of Spain of Zaragoza (province) (English: Saragossa or Caesaraugusta), Huesca (province), and Teruel (province). It is traversed by the Ebro, mountainous in the north; with beautiful fertile valleys, rather barren, in the south. Its capital is Zaragoza, Spain. In addition to its three provinces, Aragon is subdivided into 33 List of Aragonese comarcas (counties). ==Language== In addition to Spanish, there is an original Aragonese language, still spoken in some valleys of the Pyrenees, which is different from the Aragonese dialect of Castilian Spanish language. Catalan language is spoken as well in some ''comarques'' (counties) adjacent to Catalonia, in particular: the Ribagorzan dialect in Ribagorza (capital Benabarre) and Litera (capital Binefar), and a dialect similar to that of Terra Alta in Matarraña (capital Valderrobres) and Bajo Cinca (capital Fraga). ==History== Aragón was a Frankish feudal county (Jaca) before becoming a self-proclaimed kingdom, which was united to the kingdom of Pamplona (later Navarre) in 925. Split from the kingdom of Navarre, the kingdom of Aragón was re-established in 1035 and lasted until 1707. Aragón was also the name of the crown, because of the dynastic union of a Count of Barcelona (Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona) with a Queen of Aragón (Petronila of Aragon), their son inheriting all their respective territories. This Crown was effectively disbanded after the dynastic union with Castile (see below). The Kings of Aragón (called by some present-day historians "Catalan Kings of Aragón", "Catalan Kings", "Count-Kings", or "Counts of Barcelona and Kings of Aragón" so that the role played by Catalonia in the crown is not ignored inadvertently) ruled territories that consisted of not only the present administrative region of Aragón but also Catalonia, and later the Balearic Islands, Valencia (autonomous community), Sicily, Naples and Sardinia (see Aragonese Empire). The King of Aragón was the direct King of the Aragonese region, and held also the title of King of Valencia, King of Mallorca (for a time), Count of Barcelona, Lord of Montpellier, and, only temporally, Duchy of Athens. Each of these titles gave him sovereignty over a certain region, and these titles changed as he lost and won territories. The real centre of this kingdom was Barcelona, since it had a seaport and was near the geographical centre of the Crown of Aragon, while Valencia was the most important seaport for trade until approximately the 18th century. Present-day historians usually call the Crown the "Crown of Aragón", the "Catalan-Aragonese Confederation" or simply "Catalonia-Aragón", many times depending on whether that historian lives in Aragón or in Catalonia. The Kingdom of Aragón is called simply Kingdom of Aragón. Saying just "Aragón" is ambiguous and should be avoided. Barcelona was the center of what was in many ways a Mediterranean Empire, ruling the Mediterranean Sea and setting rules for the entire sea (for instance, in the ''Llibre del Consolat del Mar'', in Catalan). ==List of Chancellors== *Alfons de la Cavalleria 1494-1508 *Tomás de Malferit 1508 *Antoni Agustí de Sicart 1508-1523 *Frederic Honorat de Gualbes de Vallseca (for the Principality of Catalonia) 1523-1529 *Jeronimo de Rage (for Aragón Kingdom) 1523-1529 *Eiximèn Perez de Figuerola (for Valencia Kingdom) 1523-1529 *Joan Sunyer 1529-1533 *Miquel Mai 1533-1546 *Jeroni Descoll de Oliva 1546-1554 *Pere de Clariana de Seva 1554-1562 *Bernardo de Bolea y Portugal 1562-1585 *Simó Friigola 1585-1598 *Dídac Civarrubias Sanç 1598-1607 *Diego Clavera 1608-1612 *Andreu Roig 1612-1622 *President Garci Peréz de Araciel 1623-1624 *President Juan Manuel de Mendoza Luna Manrique, marquis of Montesclaros 1628 *President Enrique Pimentel, bishop of Cuenca 1628-1632 *President Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, duke of Alburquerque 1632-1637 *President Gaspar de Borja y de Velasco 1637-1645 *Maties Bayetola Cabanilles 1646-1652 *Cristòfor Crespí de Vallclaura Brizuela 1652-1671 *Melcior de Navarra Rocafull 1671-1677 *President Pasqual d'Aragó Folc de Cardona 1677 *President Pere Antoni d'Aragó Folc de Cardona i Córdoba 1677-1690 *Melcior de Navarra Rocafull 1690-1691 (second time) *President Gaspar Téllez Girón y Sandoval, duke of Osuna 1692-1694 *President Ferran de Montcada-Aragó i de Montcada 1695-1698 *President Rodrigo Manuel Manrique de Lara y de Tabora 1698-1702 *President Iñigo de la Cruz Manrique de Lara y Ramiréz de Arellano, count of Aguilar and Frigiliana 1702-[[1707] See list of Kings of Aragón.

"In speaking of the reign of Henry IV, present-day historians usually call the kingdom the "Navarre-France Confederation" or, some of them, simply "Navarre-France," since it was the Navarre kings that inherited the French Crown and not the other way around." User:Wetman In the text there is a confution between the Aragon Kingdom & the Corona de Aragón (I ignore the correct term in English). The first was independent under 1714 (fisrt under the power of the House of Barcelona and later under the power of the king of Spain) and never rules in Catalonia, Balearic Islands, Valencia... the second was the name of Aragon Kingdom, Catalonia, Balearic Islands.... under the power of the same person until 1492. User:Llull 19:50, 17 May 2004 (UTC) The "Crown of Aragon" is the second term you're looking for. The first would be the "Kingdom of Aragon". So the crown of Aragon consisted of the Kingdom of Aragon, the Kingdom of Valencia, Catalonia (the County of Barcelona), the Balearic Islands (Kingdom of Majorca?), the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the two Sicilian kingdoms. The last three were lost by the treaties ending the War of the Spanish Succession, and the first four were incorporated more fully into a central Spanish administration, although I don't think it's accurate to say that there was a Kingdom of Spain until the Napoleonic intervention in the 19th century - there was no official title of "King of Spain" before that, although the term was used colloquially. User:John Kenney :Well, the term was used more that colloquially. "Juan el Hermoso" was who began to use this term. And yes, the Balearic Islands were the Kingdom of Majorca. I won't correct the differences between the crown and the Kingdom because of I'd introduce bugs. User:Llull 06:48, 19 May 2004 (UTC) ::It may have been used, in the same way that James I and VI of England and Scotland called himself "King of Great Britain," but it was not an official title until 1808. I'm not sure what you mean about introducing bugs. User:John Kenney 06:56, 19 May 2004 (UTC) At any rate, I think you're right that the article conflates the region of Aragon with the whole lands of the Aragonese Crown which were in personal union with Castile from 1479. Not sure how to deal with this. User:John Kenney 06:32, 19 May 2004 (UTC) ''Present-day historians usually call the kingdom the "Catalan-Aragonese Confederation" or, some of them, simply "Catalonia-Aragon". Barcelona was the center of what was in many ways a Mediterranean Empire, ruling the Mediterranean Sea and setting rules for the entire sea (for instances, in the Llibre del Consolat del Mar (in Catalan).'' There was never something as ''Catalonia-Aragon'' or the ''Catalan-Aragonese Confederation''. The union between Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia and Majorca was allways called the "Corona de Aragón" (without any Catalonia in front or behind). I don't know who has introduced those other names in history books but I have my suspicions. As for Barcelona being the "center" of the "empire", well the union between the different kingdoms was quite loose. Valencia and Naples were very important trade cities too. To say that Barcelona was the center is simply wishful thinking. I think there is a tendency to project the importance of modern Barcelona into the past. : You are probably right there. User:Chameleon 12:18, 31 May 2004 (UTC) While Barcelona was the center of the Crown of Aragon administration, it is true that links among Catalonia, Valencia and Aragon were very loose. This claim about the importance of Barcelona city is probably exaggerated and should be editted out, since it belongs better to Barcelona article. I suggest that history of the Crown of Aragon should be explained in Aragonese Empire while the relationship between Kingdom of Aragon and Crown of Aragon belongs here. IMHO, this would prevent confusion. --User:62.81.27.241 17:34, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
