James I the Conqueror (Aragonese: Chaime o Conqueridor, Catalan: Jaume el Conqueridor, Spanish: Jaime el Conquistador; * 2 February 1208 in Montpellier; † 27 July 1276 in Alzira) was King of Aragon, King of Valencia, King of Majorca, Count of Barcelona (Catalonia), Count of Urgell, and Lord of Montpellier from the House of Barcelona from 1213 to 1276. He was one of the most important monarchs of the Spanish Middle Ages and, due to his conquests, became the true founder of the naval power of the Crown of Aragon in the western Mediterranean, which enabled Aragon to establish itself alongside Castile and Portugal as one of the three leading Christian powers on the Iberian Peninsula.
