List of Sardinian consorts

See also; List of Sardinian monarchs

This is a list of consorts of the Kingdom of Sardinia and sometimes Corsica. Although Aragon and Spain had no Salic law restricting female from succeeding; the House of Savoy operated under the Salic law. The only Queen regnant was Joanna the Mad, but there were no male consorts of Sardinia. Many Kings of Aragon had more than one wife; they may have divorced their wife or she might have died. Morganatic marriages are not counted.

House of Aragon, 1297–1410

King James II of Aragon received royal investiture from Pope Boniface VIII in 1297 as Rex Sardiniae et Corsicae. The Aragonese did not take actual possession of the isle until 1323, after a victorious military campaign against the Pisans.
