The Kingdom o Majorca was created by James I, the Conqueror, King of Aragon. After his oldest son's death, James wrote his will (1262) creating the kingdom of Majorca for his son James. When James died in 1276, the Crown of Aragon passed to his son Peter the Great, and the Crown of Majorca passed to James. The King of Majorca was forced to pay hommage to the King of Aragon.
The Kingdom was formed by the Balear Islands (Majorca, Menorca, Eivissa, Formentera; the Rousillon, the isle of Sardinia and Montpellier, Carlades and Omelades (in France). The Kings of Majorca were:
