This is alist of the kings and queens of Aragon. TheKingdom of Aragon was created sometime between 950 and 1035 when theCounty of Aragon, which had been acquired by theKingdom of Navarre in the tenth century, was separated from Navarre in accordance with the will of KingSancho III (1004–35). In 1164, the marriage of the Aragonese princessPetronila (Kingdom of Aragon) and the Catalan countRamon Berenguer IV (County of Barcelona) created a dynastic union from which what modern historians callthe Crown of Aragon was born. In the thirteenth century the kingdoms ofValencia,Majorca andSicily were added to the Crown, and in the fourteenth theKingdom of Sardinia and Corsica. The Crown of Aragon continued to exist until 1713 when its separate constitutional systems (Catalan Constitutions,AragonFueros, andFurs of Valencia) were swept away in theNueva Planta decrees at the end of theWar of the Spanish Succession.

After theBattle of Almansa in April 1707,Philip V of Spain recovered the Aragon, but imposed theNueva Planta decrees in June 1707, by which the territory lost its privileges.
