Introduction

Defining the Consort

This compilation details the royal consorts of the Kingdom of Aragon. It is important to note that certain individuals, such as Blanche II of Navarre and Philip I of Castile, are mentioned in historical contexts but died before their respective spouses ascended to the Aragonese throne, thus not serving as consorts in the traditional sense.

Royal Lineage

The consorts listed represent a significant lineage, married into the ruling houses that governed Aragon. Their unions often forged crucial political alliances and influenced the succession and cultural development of the realm.

Following the union of the crowns, the consorts of the Spanish monarchs also held titles related to Aragon. Charles I, also known as Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, married Isabella of Portugal. Their son, Philip II, married Mary I of England, becoming the first King of Spain to also be styled King of Aragon.

Male Consorts

Consort of a Queen

While the primary focus is on female consorts, the role of a male consort is also notable. Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona, served as Prince-Consort to Queen Petronilla of Aragon, effectively ruling the union of Aragon and Catalonia.

Consorts of Claimants

Contested Succession

During periods of dynastic dispute, such as the war against John II (1462–1472), various claimants asserted rights to the throne. While Peter V remained unmarried, other pretenders had consorts:

  • Henry IV of Castile: His wife was Joan of Portugal, daughter of King Edward of Portugal.
  • René of Anjou: His second wife was Jeanne de Laval, daughter of Guy XIV de Laval.

These marriages highlight the complex political landscape and the strategic importance of royal alliances during times of conflict.
