 A Brief History of Aragon.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)

Aragon, like Catalonia, Valencia and Mallorca, supported Archduke Charles against Philip V. After the battle of Almansa (1707), Philip V abolished the Aragonese charters, adopted a series of centralizing measures and all the old political arrangements of the kingdom were wiped out.

 H-Net Review: Elaine R. Miller on The Golden Age of Aragonese Jewry: Community and Society in the ...
Assis is aware that the documents at his disposal do not discuss the true daily life "of ordinary and well-behaved Jews, simple and hard-working craftsmen, loving husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, friends and neighbors"; rather, we learn "of thieves, rapists, prostitutes, men of violence, and the like" (p.

 Grammar of Aragonese
These "NOTES..." (which I firstly wrote as a project work when I was still studying at the university, around 1985, and I have only updated now for this specific purpose) must be considered just as rough sketches on several grammar subjects of the Aragonese language.
They are, obviously, a fragmentary work and must be developed, improved and amplified in order to eventually make up a real "GRAMMAR OF ARAGONESE", most probably the first one ever written in English.
I'd like to give special thanks to Francho Nagore: his Gramática de la Lengua Aragonesa (Librería General, Zaragoza, 1977) inspired these "Notes" [...as it couldn't be other way, because it is the first and the only complete Grammar of the Aragonese Language that exists nowadays!]
