General Notes

Navarre, formerly a kingdom which included part of France, is now aninland province of northern Spain. The kingdom was formed out of a partof the territory occupied by the Bascones, i. e., the Basques andGascons, who occupied the southern slope of the western Pyrenees and partof the shore of the Bay of Biscay. Its early history is more thanobscure. In recent times attempts have been made to trace the descent ofthe first historic king of Navarre from one Semen Pupus, Duke ofAquitiane, in the 6th century. But we do know that in 884 Alfonso III ofSpain succeeded his father, Ramiro I, as King of Spain. It was throughhis schemes to end the rebellions of Navarre that he eventually lostNavarre to Spain. The name Navarre is derived by Etymologists from Nava,a flat valley surrounded by hills and erri, a region or country. Indigowas elected king in 884 when it became independent from Spain.
