The Kingdom of Navarra

The Kingdom of Navarra was a medieval kingdom located in what is now northern Spain and southwestern France, existing from roughly the 9th to the 15th century. It was a significant political and cultural entity, with its own rulers, laws, and traditions. Over time, Navarra's territory fluctuated due to wars and alliances, eventually integrating into the larger kingdoms of Spain and France. The kingdom played a key role in regional politics, balancing influences from neighboring powers, and contributed to the development of Basque culture and identity. Today, the legacy of Navarra is reflected in the autonomous community of Navarre within Spain.
