Juan De Aragón, Conde De Ribagorza
Juan de Aragón y de Jonqueras, Count of Ribagorza (27 March 1457 in , Spain – 5 July 1528 in Monzón, Spain) was Viceroy of Catalonia (1496–1501) and Viceroy of Naples (1507–1509), replacing Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba. Born at Benabarre, he was a bastard son of Alfonso VI de Ribagorza, himself an illegitimate son of King John II of Aragón. He was thus a nephew of Ferdinand II (king 1479–1516). He was in charge of re-conquering the kingdom of Naples, replacing Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, who had been commander there since 1495. Juan was probably a prominent and trusted person from Gonzalo's staff in Italy. In 1479, he married a wealthy landowner, María López de Gurrea y Torrellas (died 1492). Their eldest son, born in 1487, was count Alfonso VII de Ribagorza. When his wife died in 1492, he became a member of the Order of Saint John.

16th-century Spanish People
The 16th century begins with the Julian year 1501 ( MDI) and ends with either the Julian or the Gregorian year 1600 ( MDC) (depending on the reckoning used; the Gregorian calendar introduced a lapse of 10 days in October 1582). The 16th century is regarded by historians as the century which saw the rise of Western civilization and the Islamic gunpowder empires. The Renaissance in Italy and Europe saw the emergence of important artists, authors and scientists, and led to the foundation of important subjects which include accounting and political science. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova.

Galileo Galilei became a champion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
