The kingdom of Pamplona was born in 824 with the help of the Muslim vascons of the Ebro. The two pioneers, Eneko Arista and Musa ibn Musa, have been released. But their adjacent ones will mix letters. The Navarros Christians must therefore preside over the attacks of the Mahomatic armies. They will lose a lot of battle, like Junkera Ibarra's in 920. Almanzor or Al-Mansur attacks the Basques six times, entering Pamplona twice. But he died in 1002, and at the same time Sancho el Grande appears (1004-1035). Sancho III will air the Basque Country, more than a warrior, for dealing with Muslims and for marriage between great Christians.

It will ensure the road to Compostela to Europe, expand Romanesque art, expand Benedictine reform in its lands. There the main force of the Basques will go from North to South, where they will stay for a thousand years until Garona, first in the former Aquitaine, then in Novempopulania, then in the duchy of Vasconia, finally in the sovereign principality of Gascuña.

In the adjoining kingdoms, the kingdom of Castile will always be in the ravine looking at the one of Pamplona, to see what land, city or castle it will occupy, and why not, when it will swallow it whole. If it has softened, the kingdom of the Basques eats it south and west as cancer. Next, Castile will take the Basque corner from the old Castile: east of Burgos, part of Atapuerca al Ebro; in 1173, the Rioja on the right; towards 1200, Araba, Gipuzkoa and the Duranguesado de Bizkaia; in 1512, the rest that Fernando the Catholic will remain and in 1515 will join Castile. Emperor Charles is going to leave Baja Navarra on the island of 1530, and this is going to be in the hands of the kings of the law, together with the sovereign Lordship of Bearno... but we go to the urraska!

Sancho el Fuerte (1194-1234) was the last Basque king, that is, Basque, miserable. The king of Castile welcomed three western territories: Araba, Gipuzkoa, the Duranguesado de Bizkaia, and as in 1199 the Navarro king made a trip to Morocco, taking advantage of the possibility of Castile to siege the city of Vitoria/Gasteiz. After seven months, the vitorians gave in 1200 years after obtaining Antso’s authorization. With Álava, last year, Castile annexed Gipuzkoa in dark conditions, and the Duranguesado. Don Diego López de Haro de Bizkaia collaborated with the king predator of Castilla. Lost along with Gipuzkoa the road to the sea, North Sancho faces a new solution and will soon succeed. Richard Coeur de Lion/Rikardo, husband of his sister Berenguera, has given him the East of Lapurdi, which will later be called Baja Navarra or Bajonavarro, and his rivers are thrown at Aturri. Soon Baiona will be the seaport of Navarra for the treatment between our kings and the English dukes of Aquitaine. Having no children, he must leave the crown to the son of his sister Blanca, Thibaud/Teobaldo I.ari, young Count of Champagne. Like that, the following sovereigns will be French, but the people are Basque, they speak “lingua navarrorum” according to an official document of 1167, and in the seventeenth century José María Jimeno Jurio sees the Basque language as the “national language” of Navarra in his book Navarra, History of the Basque Country.

Hence my title, the kingdom of the Basques. I know that in the three western territories, especially in Bizkaia, some citizens do not agree with this vision, and it is understandable that their ancestors from the Middle Ages under the Castilian kings, and in the anti-Navarros warriors who served Castilla on several occasions, especially in the conquest of 1512 and in the successive wars of Iñigo Loyola, we have as an example. In Iparralde, however, we are navarros: direct and de jure basonavarras, indirect and de facto labortans and suletins, so from here we cannot see history as from the West. Euskal Herria does not stay in the Bidasoa, and we are also Basque. Is it not saying?
