Excerpt from The Life and Times of James the First: The Conqueror, King of Aragon, Valencia, and Majorca Count of Barcelona and Urgel Lord of Montpellier
IN its original form this book was written for the Marquis of Lothian's prize, open annually for competition to junior members of the University of Oxford. The subject for 1889 was 'james I of Aragon,' and the present work is an expansion of the unfinished essay which I then sent in to the examiners, and to which they awarded an honourable mention.
The book, however, would never, perhaps, have been completed, had it not been for the kind encouragement and invaluable help of a friend, by whose advice I visited some of the principal archives and libraries of Spain in the years 1889 and 1890.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a biography of James I of Aragon. Born in 1208 to King Pedro II of Aragon and Mary of Montpellier, James' early years were marked by both privilege and adversity. His father's death in 1213 placed him on the throne at age five, but his minority was a period of chaos and political intrigue, with the young king serving as a pawn in the power struggles between his uncles and the nobility. He escaped his regents and took control of his kingdom in 1218 at age 10. He began his rule facing threats from both internal factions and outside forces. Through a combination of political maneuvering, military prowess, and strategic marriages, James I successfully expanded his territories and strengthened the power of the Aragonese monarchy. His reign witnessed significant social, economic, and cultural developments, including the conquest of Majorca and Valencia, and the establishment of a legal code that would shape Aragonese society for centuries to come.
