    Aragon

    Aragon
    In the Crown of Aragón, King Martín I died without an heir in 1410. Therefore, in 1412, representatives of institutions from every state in the Crown were convened to choose a new king. The resolution reached at this meeting, the Compromise of Caspe, meant that the House of Trastámara was put in place to rule Aragón. However, this branch of the family did not strengthen its authority to the same extent as the branch from Castilla.
