Majorcan Kingdom

The Majorcan Kingdom, existing from the late 13th century to the early 14th century, was a territory that emerged after the conquest of Mallorca (Majorca) by King James I of Aragon. It encompassed the Balearic Islands and parts of northeastern Spain. The kingdom was known for its thriving trade, cultural exchange, and unique blend of Christian and Moorish influences. The Majorcan kings sought to enhance their power through alliances and maritime trade. The kingdom eventually came under direct control of the Crown of Aragon, marking a significant period in the history of the Mediterranean region.
