  Crown of Aragon Information
The union of the two territories of Catalonia and Aragon was caused by the marriage of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona and Petronila of Aragon, later Queen Regnant of Aragon.
This situation was mostly maintained until the abolition of the Crown of Aragon early in the 18th century.
The Crown of Aragon was abolished during the War of the Spanish Succession (1702–1713) by the Decretos de Nueva Planta, and all its lands were incorporated, as provinces, into Spanish administration.

The Crown of Aragon eventually included the Kingdom of Valencia, the Balearic Islands, Sicily and Sardinia, and for a brief period, Provence, the Kingdom of Naples and the Duchy of Neopatria.
The union of the territories of the County of Barcelona and the Kingdom of Aragon was brought by the 1137 marriage of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona and Petronila of Aragon.
The Crown of Aragon and its institutions were abolished only after the War of the Spanish Succession (1702–1713) by the Nueva Planta decrees, under which all its lands were incorporated, as provinces, into a united Spanish administration, as Spain moved towards a centralized government under the new Bourbon dynasty.

 Castile and Aragon
These topographical conditions made the soil of Aragon very fertile; the mountains are covered with great forests, and fruits grow abundantly, but, on account of the isolation of the mountains and the scarcity of water on some of the high table-lands, some regions are but thinly populated.
The Compromiso de Caspe placed the crown of Aragon on the head of an Infante of Castile, Ferdinand of Antequera (1412), and the marriage of Isabella, heiress of Henry IV of Castile, to Ferdinand, the heir of John II of Aragon, finally united these kingdoms and formed the beginning of the Spanish monarchy.
The linguistic unity of Castile and Aragon is a very notable fact because although Aragon and Catalonia, united since the twelfth century (1137), possess two very different languages, Castile and Aragon, although they had an entirely independent historical development until the sixteenth century, have the same language with the exception of some minor dialectical differences.

The marriage of Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon (1469) unified Christian Spain; in 1492, the last of al-Andalus was conquered and the Spanish conquest of the Americas began.
His marriage to Petronila of Aragon implied the union of the County of Barcelona and the Kingdom of Aragon in a new state, this union later being confirmed in the 14th century by Peter IV of Aragon ("Peter the Ceremonious").
Ramon Berenguer IV used "Aragon" as his primary title and name of his ruling house, which absorbed the House of Barcelona, abolished in 1150 for reasons of mutual convenience and by the will of the Count himself, as he relinquished his own lineage to benefit from a higher one.

Aragon (Castilian and Aragonese: Aragón, Catalan: Aragó) is an autonomous community of north-eastern Spain.
Aragon is bounded on the north by France, on the east by Catalonia, on the south by Valencia, and on the west by Castile-La Mancha, Castile-Leon, La Rioja, and Navarre.
Aragón was also the name of the crown, because of the dynastic union of a Count of Barcelona (Ramon Berenguer IV) with a Queen of Aragón (Petronila of Aragon), their son inheriting all their respective territories.

 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.

 A Brief History of Aragon.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The history of the kingdom of Aragon reached its culmination in the reign of Alfonso I (1101-1134), but his will gave rise to serious political conflicts which were not completely solved until the Aragonese kingdom was united with the County of Barcelona.

Aragon became in practice a province and its Coincil was absorbed into the Council of Castile.

 Sample Chapter for Meyerson, M.D.: A Jewish Renaissance in Fifteenth-Century Spain.
According to this narrative, the Jews of the Christian realms of Castile and the Crown of Aragon experienced, from roughly the end of the twelfth century until the second quarter of the fourteenth, a kind of golden age, analogous to the one their ancestors had enjoyed in Muslim Spain prior to the Almohad persecutions.
On the other hand, the fate of the Jews of Morvedre was tied to that of the conversos of Valencia, for, in the end, the perceived necessity of resolving the religious and social problems surrounding the conversos determined the policies of Fernando and Isabel toward the Jews, and even the Muslims.
In the lands of the Crown of Aragon the violence of 1391 was unexpected and more of an anomaly, whereas in Castile the violence was the end result of years of vicious anti-Jewish activity.

His father became heir to the Crown of Aragon when Pere was about three months old, when the former heir (En) Jaume (Jacme) renounced the crown.
The blame for this self-imposed exile and the donations of land he considered his own he attempted to put entirely on Leonor and her advisers (especially her nurse, Doña Sanxa).10 Apparently Pere considered the idea of his father as henpecked husband less reprehensible than a less-than-caring father or poor King.
