Everything about The House Of Barcelona totally explained
The
House of Barcelona was a medieval dynasty that ruled the
County of Barcelona continuously from 878 and the
Crown of Aragon from 1137 (as kings from 1162). According to one proposed genealogy, they were the
Bellonids; certainly since the twelfth century they've been regarded as the descendants of
Wifred the Hairy. They inherited most of the
Catalan counties by the thirteenth century and established a territorial
Principality of Catalonia, uniting it with the
Kingdom of Aragon through marriage and conquering numerous other lands and kingdoms until the death of the last
legitimate male of the main branch,
Martin the Humanist, in 1410. Cadet branches of the house continued to rule
Urgell (since 992) and
Gandia. Cadet branches of the dynasty had also ruled
Ausona intermittently from 878 until 1111,
Provence from 1112 to 1245, and
Sicily from 1282 to 1409. By the
Compromise of Caspe of 1412 the Crown of Aragon passed to a branch of the
House of Trastámara, descended from the
infanta Eleanor of the house of Barcelona.
