Abstract

The Crown of Aragon was a political and social structure, currently disappeared and under controversial memories. It was a conglomerate of territories, added in the Mediterranean during the late Middle Ages, which took the name from the common ruling dynasty, being their government based on the sovereign’s weakness and the states’ strength. The political cohesion was reached, on 15th century around the implementation of humanistic justifying ideas and the combination of culture, language and territory.
