Notes:

Called "The Monk," he pursued a religious life, eventually becoming bishop of Barbastro-Roda in 1134, just before being elected king of Aragon upon his brother's unexpected death.

Although the nobles who selected him expected him to be mild and pliant, in fact he defended his throne with considerable ruthlessness. While legendary rather than historical, the story of the Bell of Huesca is probably rooted in an occasion upon which he had several troublesome nobles summarily beheaded, nominally for having attacked a convoy of Muslims in time of truce but in fact because they were conspiring to end his reign.

After three years he passed royal authority to his son-in-law Ramon Berenguer and withdrew to monastic life, although he kept his royal title until his death twenty years later.
