  In
1134 A.D. Alfonso I "The Belligerent" King of Aragon
and Navarre died without descendants. His reign was left to
two military orders. The Aragon people rejected the king's will
and made Ramiro, the king's brother, the successor to the throne.
He left his monastery and marries Ines de Poitiers they have
a daughter, Petronilla, who is given to marry Ramon Berenguer
IV immediately after her birth.
 Following
the same example, the Navarre also tried to install their
own king and so the two kingdoms became divided. Aragon and
Catalan began their common destiny. The succeeding centuries
saw great battles as well as a wide variety of alliances.
These led to the eventual formation of Greece, Germany, Italy,
France, and Spain.
The territories of the Corona were eventually made part of
Spain but maintained their own, distinct, personality; standing
on their own laws. In 1716, Filippo V removed the Corona's
autonomy by decree. The opposition and all servers to the
crown of Aragon were punished and six centuries of history
came to an end.
