County of Aragon
The
County of Aragon
or
County of Jaca
was a small
Frankish
marcher county
in the central
Pyrenean
valley of the
Aragon river
, comprising
Ansó
,
Echo
, and
Canfranc
and centered on the small town of
Jaca
(
Iacca
in
Latin
and
Chaca
in
Aragonese
), an area now part of
Spain
. It was created by the
Carolingians
late in the 8th or early in the 9th century, but soon fell into the orbit of the
Kingdom of Navarre
, into which it was absorbed in 922. It would later form the core of the 11th century
Kingdom of Aragon
.
