Aragon coins catalog with values
The County of Aragon was formed on the ruins
of Charlemagne's empire on the banks of the river of the same
name in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, with Zaragoza as
its capital. It had always been dependent on the kingdom of
Pamplona (Navarre).
In 1035, after the death of King Sancho III the Great of
Pamplona (aka Count Sancho II of Aragon), Aragon passed to his
illegitimate son Ramiro, who achieved independence in a war with
his brothers and declared his possession a kingdom.
In XII century Barcelona and Catalonia were annexed to Aragon,
in XIII - Valencia,
Majorca,
Sicily and
Sardinia, in
XIV - Naples. So
in the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile
(1469), which foreshadowed the unification of Spain, the king of
Aragon was not at all a poor relative. Although Aragon proper
had always been the least economically developed part of the
monarchy.
The unification with Castile was a dynastic union for Aragon
(i.e. the following kings of Spain were also kings of Aragon,
but only by right of succession from the previous kings of
Aragon).
The kingdom was incorporated into Spain only in 1707.

Alfonso I the Battler (1104-1134)
Alfonso (1073-1134) succeeded his childless
brother Pedro I.
After the death of Alfonso VI of Castile, the King of Aragon
(and Navarre) claimed his power (he called himself Emperor of
all Spain). The grounds for this, however, were much less than
those of Alfonso VI - King of Castile, Leon, Galicia and
Portugal, that is, indeed, most of Christian Spain. On the other
hand, the marriage with the heiress to the Castilian crown,
Uracca, and was concluded for the sake that the possessions of
Alfonso VI ruled by a man, and then they went to the children of
Urraca. This did not work out, because Uraca already had sons by
her previous husband, who were supported by some of the
nobility. And then in 1110. the Pope dissolved the marriage
because the couple were close relatives. Frankly speaking,
almost all royal dynasties of the Pyrenees were related to each
other, but the Pope did not always pay attention to it.
In general, it was not possible to become an emperor and Alfonso
concentrated on conquering lands from the Moors, for which he
was nicknamed the Warrior (El Batallador). In 1118 Zaragoza was
taken from the Moors, and the king's army reached Granada.
During the siege of the fortress of Fraga, the king was wounded
and died soon after.
