Ramiro II of Aragon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Ramiro II of Aragon 'the Monk' (ca. 1075 - August 16, 1154, at Huesca) was king of Aragon from 1134 until 1137.

In 1134, when his brother Alfonso the Battler died heirless, Ramiro was bishop of Barbastro-Roda. He temporarily gave up his monastic vows in order to secure the succession to the crown. Although Ramiro had to put up with the loss of Navarre, which had formed part of his late brother's dominions but in 1134 became independent under García Ramírez, he fought off two other claimants to the throne, one Pedro de Atarés, an illegitimate connection of the royal line, and the other, Alfonso VII, king of Castile.

The reign of Ramiro the Monk, as he is known, only lasted three years. However, in that short time he managed to put down the rebellion of his nobles. In order to produce an heir, he married Agnes, daughter of Duke William IX of Aquitaine. Once wed, his wife bore a daughter, Petronila, who was betrothed to Ramon Berenguer IV at age two. Immediately following this betrothal, Ramiro abdicated in her favour and returned to monastic life.

Ramiro II of Aragon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

La Campana de Huesca by José Casado del Alisal, illustrating the Bell of Huesca.Ramiro II (c.1075–16 August 1157, Huesca), called the Monk, was King of Aragon from 1134 until 1137. He was the youngest son of Sancho Ramírez, King of Aragon and Navarre, and Felicia of Roucy.

He spent most of his early life as monk in a French monastery and later as abbot of St. Peter at Huesca. In 1134, when his brother Alfonso the Battler died heirless, Ramiro was bishop of Barbastro-Roda. He temporarily gave up his monastic vows in order to secure the succession to the crown of Aragon, while losing Navarre, which had formed part of his late brother's dominions but in 1134 became independent under García Ramírez. He fought off two other claimants to the throne, one, Pedro de Atarés, descended from an illegitimate brother of king Sancho Ramírez, and the other, Alfonso VII, king of Castile.

The reign of Ramiro the Monk, as he is known, was tumultuous. At the beginning of his reign he had problems with his nobles, who thought he would be docile and easily steered to their wishes, but discovered him to be inflexible. In order to produce an heir, he married Agnes, daughter of Duke William IX of Aquitaine. Once wed, his wife bore a daughter, Petronila, who was betrothed to Ramon Berenguer IV at the age of two. The marriage contract, signed at Barbastro on 11 August 1137, made Petronila the heiress to the crown of Aragon, which in event of her childless death would pass to Ramon Berenguer and any children he might have by another wife. Ramon accepted Ramiro as "King, Lord and Father", renounced his family name in favor of the House of Aragon and united the County of Barcelona with the Kingdom. This union, which came to be called the Confederacion Catalanoaragonesa (Catalan-Aragonese Confederation), created the Crown of Aragon, returning the 'pocket kingdom' of Aragon to the position of peninsular power it had held prior to the loss of Navarre, as well as giving it a window to the Western Mediterranean it would come to dominate.

In the time between his accession and the betrothal of his daughter, Ramiro II had already had to put down a rebellion of the nobles, and knowing himself not to be a war king, he passed royal authority to son-in-law Ramon Berenguer on 13 November 1137. Ramon became the "Prince of the Aragonesse people" and effective chief of the kingdom's armies. While Ramiro never formally resigned his royal rights and kept aware of the business of the kingdom, he then withdrew from public life, retiring to the San Pedro Monastery in Huesca. He later became known for the famous and passionate legend of the Bell of Huesca. He died there 16 August 1157, the crown then formally passing to his daughter Petronila.

Ramiro II of Aragon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ramiro II of Aragon 'the Monk' (c. 1075-August 16, 1157, at Huesca/Uesca), son of Sancho Ramírez, King of Aragón and Navarre and Felicie of Roucy, was king of Aragon from 1134 until 1137.

He spent most of his early life as monk in a French monastery and later as abbot of St. Peter at Huesca.

Although Ramiro had to put up with the loss of Navarre, which had formed part of his late brother's dominions but in 1134 became independent under García Ramírez, he fought off two other claimants to the throne, one Pedro de Atarés, an illegitimate connection of the royal line, and the other, Alfonso VII, king of Castile.

The reign of Ramiro the Monk, as he is known, was a turmoil and although he never renounced to his legitimate Royal Rights (until his death in Huesca, 16-VIII-1157) he relied his Royal Authority quite soon to his son in law Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona. Ramiro was not a war king and he was aware of it. At the beginning of this reign he had a lot of problems with his nobles who though he was going to be a docile man and they discovered he was a piece of ice. However, in that short time he managed to put down the rebellion of his nobles. In order to produce an heir, he married Agnes, daughter of Duke William IX of Aquitaine. Once wed, his wife bore a daughter, Petronila, who was betrothed to Ramon Berenguer IV at age two.

This way Ramiro was sure to have a great commanding general for his (the Aragonesse) armies. The conditions for this marriage were arranged and signed in the city of Barbastro the August 11 of 1137. Ramon Berenger IV had to accepted Ramiro as his "King, Lord and Father", he had to renounce his family name in favour of the House of Aragon and the Count of Barcelona united to the Kingdom. The "Corona de Aragon" was initially formed. The name Confederacion Catalanoaragonesa was not recorded until XIX siecle. This denomination comes from the renaixença, and was stablished in books as the "monografía de Antonio de Bofarull y Broca" and "La confederación catalano-aragonesa" (Barcelona, Luis Tasso, 1872)).

Ramon Berenguer became then the "Prince of the Aragonesse people" (as the meaning of that time was "Chief of the Army")and then "Count of Barcelona". This document is now kept and can be checked in the "Archivos de la Corona de Aragón" in Barcelona. Later this year, the November 13, Ramiro II gives the authority of the kingdom to his son in law but never his title, instead he came back to San Pedro Monastery in Huesca where he was always aware of the bussiness of the Kingdom, this way he will be always known as the "Ramiro the Monk" and he is also celebre for the famous and passionate legend "The bell of Huesca". The heir-line for the Aragonesse Crown fixed in the marriage contract was: Petronila de Aragón became the Queen of Aragon and the Countess of Barcelona. Then the line passed to her descendants, if she was dead with no child then the right could have passed to Ramon Berenguer. Her son Alfonso II became King of Aragon and Count of Barcelona.

Ramiro II (c.1075-16 August 1157, Huesca), kalt Munken, var konge av Aragon fra 1134 til 1137. Han var den yngste av sønnene til Sancho Ramirez, konge av Aragon og Navarre og hans kone Felicia av Roucy.

Han tilbragte sine første år som munk i et fransk kloster og senere som abbed i St.Peter i Huesca. I 1134, når broren døde uten arvinger var Ramiro biskop i Barbastro-Roda. Han ga midlertidig opp sine kirkelige verv for å sikre kronen i Aragon, men tapte Navarre (tidligere under brorens dominans, men ble i 1134 uavhengig under Garcia Ramireza). Han kjempet bort to som krevde kronen, den ene; Pedro av Atares, nedkom fra en illegitim bror av Sancho Ramirez og den andre Alfonso VII, konge av Castilla.

Regimet under Ramiro (munken) var kaotisk. I begynnelsen hadde han problemer med adelen som trodde han ville bli enkel og lett og styre, men oppdaget at hn var lite fleksibel. For å skaffe en arving giftet han seg med Agnes, datteren til Grev William IX av Aragon. De fikk en datter som ble bortlovet til Ramon Berenguer IV når hun var to. Ekteskapskontrakten, signert i Barbastro 11.08.1137 gjorde Petronila til arving av kronen til Aragon, og hvis hun døde barnløs skulle kronen gå til Ramon Berenguer og barn han måtte ha med en ny kone. Ramon aksepterte Ramiro som konge, herre og far - og la også Barcelona inn under tronen. Denne unionen kalles Confederatcion Catalanoaragonesa.

Ramiro hadde måttet slå ned to opprør fra adelen, og siden han visste han ikke var noen krigerkonge ga han makten til sin svigersønn Ramon Berenguer 13.11.1137. Ramon ble prins av Aragon og dets folk og var effektiv sjef over kongerikets hær. Selv om Ramiro aldri formelt overførte sin kongelige rett og passet på kongeriket trakk han seg likevel tilbake fra offentlighetens lys og reiste til San Pedro kloster i Huesca. Senere ble han kjent for den berømte legenden om klokkene i Huesca. Han døde der 16.08.1157, og kronen ble formelt overdratt hans datter Petronila.
