The Navarrese Royal Lineage

The Navarrese Royal Lineage refers to the series of monarchs that ruled the Kingdom of Navarre, located in what is now northern Spain and southern France. Established in the early Middle Ages, it became significant in European history due to its strategic location and cultural exchanges. The lineage includes notable rulers like Sancho III and Catherine of Navarre. The kingdom played a crucial role in the Reconquista, the Christian re-conquest of the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. Over time, Navarre was absorbed into Spain, but its royal heritage remains an important part of regional identity and history.
