Peter I of Aragon and Navarre

Peter I (1068/9 – 27x29 September 1104) is the King of Aragon and Navarre for a decade from 1094 until his death.

He is the son and successor of Sancho V Ramírez by his first wife, Isabella of Urgell.

He is named in honor of Saint Peter, because of his father's special devotion to the Holy See, to which he had made his kingdom a vassal.

Peter continues his father's close alliance with the Church and pursues the Reconquista with even greater success, allying with Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, known as El Cid, the ruler of Valencia, against the Almoravids.

According to the medieval Annales Compostellani, Peter is in bellis expertus et audax in principio ("expert in war and daring in initiative").
