This is a list of the kings of Pamplona (Iruña in Basque), later Navarre. Iruña, name of the capital, was used as the only or main name of the kingdom until the period of the dominion of Aragón (1076-1134). However, the territorial designation Navarre came into use as an alternative name in the late 10th century, though it was used much less often. Aragonese kings created a county named Navarre in the central areas of the kingdom of Pamplona. When the country regained its independence, from 1134 onwards, the name Navarre was the main designation of the kingdom. [edit] Monarchs of Pamplona[edit] House of Íñiguez, ? 824–905The Íñiguez dynasty founded the Navarrese kingdom (of Pamplona) in or around 824 when they rebelled against nominal Frankish (Carolingian) authority.
[edit] House of Jiménez, 905–1000In 905, a coalition of neighbors forced Fortún Garcés to retire to a monastery, and enthroned in his place a scion of a new dynasty.
[edit] Monarchs of Pamplona/Navarre[edit] House of Jiménez, 1004–1076During the time of Sancho III the Great, the name Navarre for the kingdom began to replace Pamplona, as he was titled rex Navarrae Hispaniarum. He also brought Castile, Ribagorza and Sobrarbe under his control, and conquered León.
[edit] Monarchs of Navarre and Aragon[edit] House of Jiménez, Aragon branch 1076–1134With the assassination of Sancho IV, Navarre was invaded by his cousins Alfonso VI of Castile and Sancho Ramirez of Aragon, and the latter made king, leading to a half-century of Aragonese control.
[edit] Monarchs of Navarre[edit] House of Jiménez, senior line (restoration), 1134–1234The death of Alfonso led to a succession crisis in Aragon, and the nobles of Navarre took advantage to reestablish an independent monarchy, crowning a grandnephew (through an illegitimate brother) of the assassinated Sancho IV.
[edit] House of Champagne, 1234–1284
The death of Sancho VII, the last of the Jimenez kings, led to the crown of Navarre being inherited by the son of his sister Blanca, Countess of Champagne, she having been regent during much of her brother's reign.
[edit] House of Capet, 1284–1349
[edit] House of Évreux, 1328–1441
[edit] House of Trastámara, 1425–1479
[edit] Claimants against John II, 1441–1464During the war against king John II, there were two who claimed his throne.
[edit] House of Foix, 1479–1518
[edit] House of Albret, 1518–1572John III was defeated by Ferdinand II of Aragon in 1512, who then conquered southern Navarre for the Crown of Aragon and was crowned king. See the List of Aragonese and Spanish monarchs for this line. The monarchs of Navarre after 1512 thus only reigned over Lower Navarre, the part of Navarre north of the Pyrenees.
[edit] House of Bourbon, 1572–1620
Henry III of Navarre became Henry IV of France and thereafter the crown of Navarre passed to the kings of France. In 1620, the Kingdom was merged into France; however, the French kings continued to use the title King of Navarre until 1791, and it was revived again from 1814 to 1830 during the Bourbon Restoration. The Bourbon Carlist pretenders to the throne of Spain had Spanish Navarre as a stronghold during the Carlist Wars, but their claim was to all the Spanish royal titles in general. [edit] Monarchs and pretenders following the traditional successionIf the monarchy of Navarre had remained separate from that of France and retained its traditional male-preference primogeniture succession laws, its monarchs/pretenders would be as follows: [edit] House of Bourbon, 1620–1883[edit] House of Bourbon-Parma, since 1883[edit] Current claimants
