  Kingdom of Navarre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Of Sancho's sons, Garcia of Najera received Navarre, Guipuzcoa, Vizcaya, and small portions of Béarn and Bigorre north of the Pyrenees; Castile and the lands between the Pisuerga and the Cea went to the eldest, Fernando; to Gonzalo were given Sobrarbe and Ribagorza; the County of Aragon was allotted to the bastard son Ramiro.
After the murder of Sancho IV (1076), king Alfonso VI of Castile, and Sancho Ramirez of Aragon, ruled jointly in Navarre; the towns south of the Ebro together with the Basque Provinces fell to Castile, the remainder to Aragon, which retained them until 1134.
His son, Sancho Garcia, known as Sancho VI "the Wise" (1150–94), a patron of learning, as well as an accomplished statesman, fortified Navarre within and without, gave charters (fueros) to a number of towns, and was never defeated in battle.

Queen Catherine III approved the Confederation Act of 1666, by which the Colonies of Carolina and Catalianna formed a confederation, bearing the name "The Confederation of Nuevo Navarra." In 1670, a colony, out of the Venezuelan coast, was formed separate from Carolina and Catalianna, as Nuevo Aquitannia.
Navarra suffered from the XIV century on a series of dynastical problems that made it depend on the French Crown and acquiring more territories on the northern side.
Catherine III was succeded by her 47 year old son, who took the throne as Philip V. During the "Philipine Age" Pamplona became a city full of culture, as South American and Angolan dignitaries and music and dancers were brought to the Royal Court.

This move was essential in containing Sancho’s aggression — documentary and anecdotal evidence from the period suggests that Sancho was planning on marching on the tiny Kingdom of Navarra in late March of 1067, and indeed had begun the preliminary mustering and training of his army when word reached him of the alliance.
It is this author’s assertion that, had Sancho not plotted to unite his father’s former realms by force, and had the other siblings allied to oppose him, the violence of the War of the Four Kings would not have necessitated the further violence of assassination and, later, execution which followed.
In 1078 Ramiro Jimenez, Duke of Navarra and uncle of the King of Navarra and Aragon, Diego, undertook a crusade to liberate Hispania from the Emirs of Sevilla and Toledo.

 The Kingdom of León-Castilla under King Alfonso VI
Sancho el Mayor of Navarra (1000-1035) by this time not only held that tiny realm but had extended his sway over the minuscule counties of Aragón, Sobrarbe, and Ribagorza, the wild Basque country, and the upper Ebro River district of Rioja.
Sancho el Mayor then claimed the county of Castilla in his wifes name and installed in it their son, Fernando, as the new count of Castilla.
The victory at Atapuerca reduced the kingdom of Navarra to a vassal state under the late kings son, Sancho García IV (1054-1076), but Fernando was generous in his triumph and required the cession only of the Bureba district on the west bank of the upper Ebro River around the royal monastery of Oña.

The strengthening of the presence of Navarre in the lands of Alava was ephemeral, and the reaction of Alfonso VIII de Castilla was produced between 1199 and 1200.

The fact that this child was born with the unfortunate disadvantage of being female proved only a mere hiccup in the plans of her father and, ultimately, proved a uniting force on the Iberian Peninsula some 300 years before her more famous counterpart, Isabella I of Castile.
Early on, however, it seemed that the lands might again be united since, by 1076, Aragon and Navarre were ruled jointly once more under Ramiro I's son, Sancho, who became king of Aragon in 1063 and king of Navarre in 1076.
It was just the opportunity the Navarrese needed to dispense with a union they disliked and, before Ramiro could act definitively, the kingdom's barons appointed a monarch of their choice.
