Navarra, Navarre

The Kingdom of Navarre, originally the Kingdom of Pamplona, was a European kingdom which occupied lands on either side of the Pyrenees alongside the Atlantic Ocean.

The kingdom of Navarre was formed when local Basque leader Íñigo Arista was elected or declared King in Pamplona (traditionally in 824) and led a revolt against the regional Frankish authority.

The southern part of the kingdom was conquered by the Crown of Castile in 1513, and thus became part of the unified Kingdom of Spain. The northern part of the kingdom remained independent, but it was joined with France in a personal union in 1589 when King Henry III of Navarre inherited the French throne as Henry IV of France, and in 1620 it was merged into the Kingdom of France.

◊ Roger II [1095-1154] – of Sicily, King NAVR53 1C26
Upstart king of the once-Muslim Sicily, Roger II, commissioned the first global map of the world from the Muslim geographer al-Idrisi. The map, completed about 1138, depicted the world as occupying one full hemisphere, or 180 degrees, stretching from Korea in the East to the Canary Islands in the West.

• Sancho I of Pamplona [865c-925] – King of Pamplona NAVR184 1C34
Perhaps to legitimize the succession, Sancho married Toda Aznárez, daughter of Onneca Fortúnez, (who was a daughter of former king Fortún Garcés) and Aznar Sánchez, lord of Larraun. Thus, Sancho and Toda's children were also descendants of the Arista dynasty of Navarrese monarchs, but likewise akin to Abd-ar-Rahman III of Córdoba, a grandson of Onneca by a former husband. When Sancho died in 925, his only son was still quite young. Thus Sancho was succeeded by his brother, Jimeno Garcés, upon whose death Sancho's son García would succeed under that regency of Toda. In his memory, the family would be called the Banu Sanyo (Arabic: 'descendants of Sancho') by Al-Andalus chroniclers. WIKI wiki: Wiki
  • Father: ¤García II Jiménez
• Sancho II Garcés of Pamplona [935c-994] – King of Pamplona NAVR120 30GGFa
In 976, at the monastery of Albelda, the cultural and intellectual centre of his kingdom, the Codex Vigilanus was completed. It is one of the most important illuminated manuscripts of medieval Spain, containing the canons of the Councils of Toledo, a copy of the Liber Iudiciorum, and the first Western representation of the Arabic numerals, among many other texts. wiki: Wiki
  • Father: ¤García Sánchez I of Pamplona
  • Son: ¤Sancho III Garcés
* Sancho III [992c-1035] – King of Navarre NAVR6 28GGFa
Sancho III Garcés (c. 992 – 18 October 1035), called the Great (Spanish: el Mayor), succeeded as a minor to the Kingdom of Navarre (then known as Pamplona) in 1004, and through conquest and political maneuvering increased his power, until at the time of his death in 1035 he controlled the majority of Christian Iberia, bearing the title of rex Hispaniarum. Having gone further than any of his predecessors in uniting the divided kingdoms of Iberia, his life's work was undone when he divided his domains shortly before his death to provide for each of his sons. The Kingdom of Navarre existed for almost six centuries after his death, but was never as powerful again. wiki: Wiki
  • Father: ¤Sancho II Garcés of Pamplona
  • Son: ¤Sancho IV of Navarre
• Sancho IV of Navarre [1038c-1076] – King of Navarre NAVR15 S28
At the age of fourteen Sancho was proclaimed king in the camp by the field where his father was killed at the Battle of Atapuerca. He was assassinated in Peñalén, whence his nickname, by a conspiracy headed by his brother Ramón (el Fratricida, the Fratricide) and his sister Ermesinda.

His reign was the last of the Jimengo Dynasty. It was followed by the Aragon Dynasty. wiki: Wiki

* Sancho VI of Navarre [1133c-1194] – King of Navarre NAVR36 25GGFa
He was the first to use the title "King of Navarre" as the sole designation of his kingdom, dropping Pamplona out of titular use. He is also responsible for bringing his kingdom into the political orbit of Europe. wiki: Wiki
  • Father: ¤García VI Ramirez
  • Son: ¤Sancho VII of Navarre
• Sancho VII of Navarre [1154-1234] – King of Navarrre NAVR45 S26
He was extraordinarily tall. The historian and forensic anthropologist, Luis del Campo, who studied his mortal remains, affirms that he was 2.23 metres (7.3 feet) in height.

According to Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, Sancho left a library of 1.7 million books. The cultural contacts with the Muslim Kingdoms that he visited and battled with, his friendship with his brother in Law Richard the Lionheart and his sister Blanca's Court of Troyes, at the time the most refined in Europe, must have left an important influence on the King's personal intellect. The kingdom he left, with a wealthy treasury and improved communications, was in his day one of the most advanced in human rights, and its Jewish Community enjoyed the best standing in Christian Europe.

With his death, the rule of Navarre passed out of Navarran hands, to Theobald I, a Frenchman. wiki: Wiki
