	Aragon - LoveToKnow 1911
		Aragon), a captaincygeneral, and formerly a kingdom of Spain; bounded on the N. by the Pyrenees, which separate it from France, on the E. by Catalonia and Valencia, S. by Valencia, and W. by the two Castiles and Navarre.
		Aragon was divided in 1833 into the provinces of Huesca, Teruel and Saragossa; an account of its modern condition is therefore given under these names, which have not, however, superseded the older designation in popular usage.
		Three counties - Sobrarbe, situated near the headwaters of the Cinca, Aragon, to the west, and Ribagorza or Ribagorca, to the east - are indicated by tradition and the earliest chronicles as the cradle of the Aragonese monarchy.

	::The Revolt of Aragon::
		Potentially the Revolt of Aragon was far more serious than the Revolt of the Moricos and the way the revolt was handled at the end by Philip showed the aging king in a good light.
		Aragon was proud of its past and their major concern was that Philip would attempt to ‘Castilise’ Aragon and severely undermine their heritage and their traditional rights (fueros).
		Aragon continually objected to the intrusions of the Castilian government yet Philip could not allow his rule over his whole kingdom to be challenged.

		Aragon was a federation of highly independent provinces that were each administered by a Cortes in the absence of the king who could not directly administer such a diverse empire.

	Origins of the Aragonese-Catalan Flag (Spain)
		Aragon was only one of the kingdoms of the Catalan crown, the one with the best-known name, but politically and economically insignifiant.
		The flag of Aragon (or signal of the house of Aragon) was the insignia of the house or lineage of the kings of Aragon which appeared on its coat-of-arms.
		When the kingdom of Aragon became the Crown of Aragon this flag was common to all its components and established as one with 4 (four) pallets, and thus it was Catalonia who adopted the signal of Aragon when the count of Barcelona married the heiress of Aragon, committing himself to take charge of her kingdom.
