  Alfonso I of Aragon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfonso I of Aragon 'the Battler' (circa 1073-1134, king of Aragon and Navarre 1104-1134).
Alfonso the Battler won his great successes in the middle Ebro, where he expelled the Moors from Zaragoza; in the great raid of 1125, when he carried away a large part of the subject Christians from Granada, and in the south-west of France, where he had claims as usurper-king of Navarre.
His testament was not honored: Aragon took his aged brother abbot-bishop Ramiro out of monastery and made him king; Navarrese regained independence and put Lord Garcia Ramirez of Monzon, son of his second cousin, to the throne in Pamplona.
