Ramiro I of Aragon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ramiro I of Aragon (died 1063) was the First King of Aragon from 1035 until 1063. He was the natural son of King Sancho III of Navarre and was the first king of Aragon proper.
In 1035, he inherited the small valley of the River Aragón in the northwest corner of the modern province of Huesca with the title of 'king'. After the death of his brother, Gonzalo, in 1038, he incorporated into his lands the Counties of Sobrarbe in the central north strip of the modern province of Huesca, and Ribagorza in the northeast corner of that province.
He died at the siege of Graus in 1063.
