The Kingdom of Majorca (Catalan: Regne de Mallorca, IPA:[ˈreŋnəðəməˈʎɔɾkə]; Spanish: Reino de Mallorca; Latin: Regnum Maioricae; French: Royaume de Majorque) was a realm on the east coast of Spain, which included certain Mediterranean islands, and which was founded by James I of Aragon, also known as James the Conqueror. In a will written in 1262 after the death of his firstborn son Alfonso, he ceded the kingdom to his son James. The disposition was maintained during successive versions of his will and so when James I died in 1276, the Crown of Aragon passed to his eldest son Peter, known as Peter III of Aragon or Peter the Great. The Kingdom of Majorca passed to James, who reigned under the name of James II of Majorca. After 1279, Peter III of Aragon established that the King of Majorca was a vassal to the king of Aragon. In 1344 the kingdom was brought under the Crown of Aragon, remaining a constituent kingdom until its dissolution in 1715 by one of the Nueva Planta decrees.
