Ramiro I
king of Aragon
Ramiro I (died March 8, 1063, or May 8, 1069) was the first king of Aragon, who reigned from 1035. He was the (probably) illegitimate son of King Sancho III of Navarre. During his fatherâs lifetime he governed this territory and was made king of it by his fatherâs will. In 1045 he annexed the territories belonging to his brother Gonzalo upon the latterâs death. Ramiro later conquered some territory from the Moors and made the Moorish kings of Huesca, Saragossa, and LĂ©rida his tributaries.
