Kingdom of Aragon, Medieval kingdom in northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain.
The Kingdom of Aragon stretched across the Ebro Valley, featuring the three sequential capitals of Jaca, Huesca, and Zaragoza between 1035 and 1707.
The territory emerged from a Carolingian feudal county to become an independent kingdom in 1035 when Sancho III of Navarre granted it to his son Ramiro I.
The region developed its own legal system, the Fueros of Aragon, which established rights and privileges for citizens while limiting royal authority through parliamentary institutions.
The kingdom maintained extensive trade networks along the Mediterranean Sea, connecting commercial routes from Barcelona through Zaragoza to inland Spanish territories.
The marriage of Queen Petronilla of Aragon to Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona in 1150 formed the Crown of Aragon, creating a powerful Mediterranean confederation.
