1276 CE

The kingdom of Majorca, with its Balearic Island dependencies, gains independence from Aragon at the death of James the Conqueror in 1276, with its capital at Perpignan, a fortified mainland town on the Tet River, about eight miles (thirteen kilometers) from the Mediterranean, and the former capital of Roussillon.

The Majorcan royal castle lies within the huge fortress that dominates the town.
