In 1262, James the Conqueror, the King of Aragon and Count of Barcelona, made a significant move by creating the Kingdom of Majorca in his will. This decision aimed to ensure the territorial integrity of his kingdom and maintain the peace among his heirs. The creation of the Kingdom of Majorca marked the establishment of a separate entity within the lands ruled by James, granting his son, James II, the authority to govern and extend his influence over the Balearic Islands and other territories. This move ultimately led to the consolidation of Majorca as an independent kingdom under the Crown of Aragon. Not only did this decision solidify James the Conqueror's legacy, but it also impacted the future political landscape of the region. #Majorca #Kingdom #Spain
