Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Navarre (Spanish Navarra, Basque Nafarroa) is a region in northern Spain, constituting one of its autonomous communities &endash; the "Chartered Community of Navarre" (Spanish Comunidad Foral de Navarra; Basque Nafarroako Foru Erkidegoa).

During the time of the Roman Empire, the territory of the province was inhabited by the Vascones, a pre-Roman tribe who populated the southern slopes of the Pyrenees. The Vascones managed to maintain their separate Basque language and traditions even under the Roman rule.

The area was never fully subjugated either by the Visigoths or by the Arabs. In A.D. 778, the Basques defeated a Frankish army in the Battle of Roncevaux Pass. Two generations later, in 824, the chieftain Iñigo Arista was chosen King of Pamplona, laying a foundation for the later Kingdom of Navarre. That kingdom reached its zenith during the reign of Sancho III of Navarre and covered the area of the present-day Navarre, Basque country, and La Rioja, together with parts of modern Cantabria, Castile and León, and Aragon.

After Sancho III died, the Kingdom of Navarre was divided between his sons and never fully recovered its importance. The army of Navarre fought beside other Christian Spanish kingdoms in the decisive battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, after which the Muslim conquests on the Iberian Peninsula were slowly reduced to a small territory in the south.

8. Look For Navarre Not Leinart To Relieve Warner!
August 24, 2006

The wait is over in Arizona as former USC Heisman Trophy winner of 2004, Matt Leinart, has ended his holdout with the Cardinals. Leinart made a mistake in coming back to USC in 2005 as he would have been the first overall pick in the 2005 draft. Scouts had an extra year to poke and probe and they realized that maybe Leinart was the beneficiary of an outstanding surrounding cast. Why did Arizona give him mega millions to sign? Two words folks: New Stadium! For years the Cardinals have used the Sun Devil Stadium as an excuse and that they are playing in a college town. Now, the state of the... (read more)
