Aragon On his wife's death, the crown of Castile passed to his daughter Joanna and her husband, Philip the Fair of Burgundy in 1506. In 1406, upon the death of his elder brother King Henry III of Castile, Ferdinand declined the Castilian crown and instead, with Henry's widow Catherine, became coregent during the minority of his nephew John II of Castile. The union of the Spanish kingdoms of Aragón and Castile was effected in 1469 by Ferdinand's marriage to his cousin Isabella I, queen of Castile. website.lineone.net /~johnbidmead/aragon.htm

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Her husband pursued a policy of administrative dualism vis-a-vis Aragon and Castile (the creation of the Council of Aragon, 1494), while in Catalonia and the Crown of Aragon he consolidated the system of government by means of a contractual relationship. Lured by the Mediterranean policy of the Catalan-Aragonese Crown, Castile adopted a course of action on the European problem that was diametrically opposed to that which she had followed during the Middle Ages ÷that is, the new course opposed the interests of France, her faithful ally since the time of the Trastámara King, Henry II. Navarre did not, however, lose her distinctive regime ÷an exception to the policy of the Crown of Castile; her incorporation left her with the autonomy that had characterized the policy followed by the great monarchs of the House of Barcelona. www.art.man.ac.uk /SPANISH/courses/sp2230/Vicens_ordering.html   (2085 words)

A Brief History of Aragon. Following the union of the crowns of Aragon and Castile, the common interests which linked the various states of the Crown of Aragon gradually dispersed, although there was no real union with Castile. Aragon became in practice a province and its Coincil was absorbed into the Council of Castile. At the beginning of the 9th century there was already a native count recognized by Charlemagne; thus emerged the County of Aragon which for a time came within the orbit of the Kingdom of Pamplona, but became emancipated from it, as a Kingdom, in the 11th century. www.sispain.org /english/politics/autonomo/aragon/araghis.html   (2085 words)

Essay or Coursework - How far was Spain unified by 1516? In the economic sphere, the division of Castile and Aragon, despite the union of their monarchs, is even clearer. However, one should note that many of these reforms were only carried out in Castile. Aragon's traditional sphere of influence was in the Mediterranean. www.coursework.info /i/25383.html   (302 words)

The Spanish Inquisition To the centre and north: a Christian Spain of some six million souls, divided politically into the crown of Castile (with two-thirds of the territory of the peninsula and three-quarters of the population) and the crown of Aragon (made up of the realms of Valencia, Aragon and Catalonia). They were numerically insignificant in Castile, and in the crown of Aragon lived separately in their own communities, so that friction was minimal. The crown accepted this policy because it seemed to ensure stability, but the new developments failed to bring about social unity, and the machinery of the Inquisition served only to intensify and deepen the shadow of conflict over Spain. partners.nytimes.com /books/first/k/kamen-inquisition.html   (2469 words)

History Fernando the 2nd (1479-1516) then took the throne and, by marrying Isabel of Castile, the Aragonese Crown (as the union of the kingdoms of Catalonia, Aragón, Valencia and Mallorca was called) became united to that of Castile, and Barcelona stopped being the seat of the monarchy. Furthermore, the discovery of America shifted the Crown's economical interests from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic shores, grinding the Aragonese Crown and Barcelona's economy to a halt and subsequent decadence. During the reign of the house of Austria, the monarchs lived far from Barcelona. www.barcelona-on-line.es /eng/turisme/historia.htm   (746 words)

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. 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. The attacks on Jewish communities in the kingdom of Valencia and elsewhere in the Crown of Aragon were not, in other words, the product of years of escalating Christian animus toward the Jews. www.pupress.princeton.edu /chapters/i7736.html   (8128 words)

Aragon, Catalonia, and Valencia, 1276-1479 (from Spain) --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia In the late Middle Ages the Crown of Aragon experienced a confrontation between the monarchy and the nobility similar to that which occurred in neighbouring Castile. By their marriage in October 1469, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella of Castile initiated a confederation of the two kingdoms that became the basis for the unification of Spain. As Roman law and its practitioners gained in influence, protests were heard in both Aragon and Catalonia, and James I confirmed the customary law of Aragon in an assembly at Ejea in 1265. www.britannica.com /ebi/article-70367   (839 words)

Sample Chapter for Ruiz, T.F.: From Heaven to Earth: The Reordering of Castilian Society, 1150-1350. In 1179, the Treaty of Cazola between the Crown of Aragon and Castile established various spheres of influence in the south. Alfonso VIII's most significant achievement was his ability to forge a broad international alliance of peninsular and northern rulers (the Crown of Aragon, France, and England) against the Almohad threat--an alliance that his English connection through marriage to Eleanor, Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine's daughter, helped consolidate. When Alfonso VII died in 1157, his lofty pretensions to be the "emperor of all the Spains" had come to little more than verbal claims. www.pup.princeton.edu /chapters/i7636.html   (3943 words)

FRANCIA In 1349 Count Humbert II (d.1355), the "Dauphin," simply sold the territory to the grandson of Philip VI, the prince who would later become Charles V. Thus, Charles became the first "Dauphin" of France, and as he was the Crown Prince from 1350-1364, this now became the traditional title of the Heir Apparent of France. The Anjevian line ruling Naples had died out in 1435, and while Queen Joanna II willed the country to Duke René the Good of Anjou and Lorraine, by 1442 it was in the hands of Alfonso V of Aragón. As the possessions of the House of Anjou fell to the French Throne in 1481, Charles decided to go after Naples, which had been left by Alfonso to his illegitimate son Ferdinand. www.friesian.com /francia.htm   (3943 words)

History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella V1 Another circumstance, which contributed to impoverish the exchequer, was the occasional political revolutions in Castile, in which the adhesion of a faction was to be purchased only by the most ample concessions of the crown.—Such was the violent revolution, which placed the House of Trastamara on the throne, in the middle of the fourteenth century. Henry, content with having so cheaply gained his point, allowed himself to soften at their entreaties, taking care, however, to detain their persons as security for their engagements, until such time as the rents, royal fortresses, and whatever effects had been filched from the crown, were restored. Aragon did homage to Castile for her territory on the western bank of the Ebro, until the twelfth century, as did Navarre, Portugal, and, at a later period, the Moorish kingdom of Granada. www.blackmask.com /books110c/7rfione.htm   (17585 words)
