I recall aragon being an important kingdom, a shame its a stub : /

[edit] wrong map

Ehh, where the hell is sicily on the "kingdom of aragon 15 th century?" the island went to Aragonese hands in the 13th century by the Sicilian vespers. Some one tell me otherwise or else let me upload a new version. And what about corsica or sardina? I don't know about those. Tourskin 04:24, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

They were part of the Crown of Aragon, not the kingdom, which was more or less contiguous with the modern region of Aragón. Srnec 18:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Right, except that you probably meant coextensive, not contiguous. --Jotamar 13:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

By the way, the other map (Image:Castilla 1210.png) is quite POV, it might even be a plain mistake. Aragon has always been a landlocked territory. --Jotamar 13:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I know. Did you see my edit summary? I couldn't find an accurate one on any Wikipedia. We need one. (By the way, I just realised today that though I have known the definition of "contiguous" since childhood I had, humorously and embarassingly, misinterpreted "sharing a border" as meaning "coextensive", since coextensive entities do share a border...)

The new image I added, oddly enough, calls both kingdom and crown "Kingdom of Aragon" (which thus appears twice on the map). It is also impossible to see the kingdom without enlarging the thumbnail. It is now more accurate, but it could still use improvement. Srnec 01:22, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
