List of Aragonese monarchs

Coat of Arms of the Crown of Aragon

This is a list of the kings and queens of Aragon. The Kingdom of Aragon was created sometime between 950 and 1035 when the County of Aragon, which had been acquired by the Kingdom of Navarre in the tenth century, was separated from Navarre in accordance with the will of King Sancho III (1004–35). In 1164, the marriage of the Aragonese princess Petronila (Kingdom of Aragon) and the Catalan count Ramon Berenguer IV (County of Barcelona) created a dynastic union from which what modern historians call the Crown of Aragon was born. In the thirteenth century the kingdoms of Valencia, Majorca and Sicily were added to the Crown, and in the fourteenth the Kingdom of Sardinia and Corsica. The Crown of Aragon continued to exist until 1713 when its separate constitutional systems (Catalan Constitutions, Aragon Fueros, and Furs of Valencia) were swept away in the Nueva Planta decrees at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession.

Jiménez dynasty, 1035–1164

With the death of Sancho III of Pamplona, Aragon was inherited by his son Ramiro as an autonomous state.

House of Barcelona, 1164–1410

House of Trastámara, 1412–1555

Nominally co-monarch of her son Charles I, Joanna I was confined for alleged insanity during her whole reign.

Claimants against John II, 1462–1472

During the Catalan Civil War, there were three who claimed his throne, though this never included the Kingdom of Valencia.

House of Habsburg, 1516–1700

Aragon itself stayed loyal to Philip IV during the Reapers' War while Catalonia switched allegiance to Louis XIII and Louis XIV the Sun-King (see List of Counts of Barcelona). Portugal seceded in 1640. Charles II died without heirs.

House of Bourbon, 1700–1705

House of Habsburg, 1705–1707

Austrian control of the Aragon between 1705 and 1707 determines the establishment of the Council of Aragon.[3]

House of Bourbon, 1707–1707

After the Battle of Almansa in April 1707, Philip V of Spain recovered the Aragon, but imposed the Nueva Planta decrees in June 1707, by which the territory lost its privileges.

During the war (officially in 1707) Philip V of Spain, the first of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain, disbanded the Crown of Aragon. After this time, there are no more Aragonese monarchs. Nevertheless, Spanish monarchs up to Isabella II, while styling themselves king/queen of Spain on coins, still used some of the traditional nomenclature of the defunct Crown of Aragon in their official documents: King/Queen of Castile, Leon, Aragon, both Sicilies, Jerusalem, Navarra, Granada, Toledo, Valencia, Galicia, Majorca, Sevilla, Sardinia, Cordova, Corsica, Murcia, Jaen, the Algarve, Algeciras, Gibraltar, the Canary Islands, the Eastern & Western Indias, the Islands & Mainland of the Ocean sea; Archduke of Austria; Duke of Burgundy, Brabant, Milan; Count of Habsburg, Flanders, Tyrol, Barcelona; Lord of Biscay, Molina.
