'''Navarre''' (Spanish: ''Navarra'', French: ''[la] Navarre'', Basque: ''Nafarroa'') is the name of a former kingdom situated on both sides of the [[Pyrenees]] in Northern [[Spain]]] and Southwest [[France]]. Originally, the name referred only to the region south of the Pyrenees around the city of [[Pamplona]]. The partially [[Basque]] and partial [[Visigoth]] population founded this independent state in the 8yh and 9th century to defend themselves from as well [[Moorish]] as [[Frankish]] intruders. It was independent from 824 to 1620, when the remaining Kingdom became part of France, although it kept some autonomy. The French King held from that time on title of ''Roi de France et de Navarre'' (King of France and Navarre).<ref>France, Navarre, Béarn and Andorra[http://www.heraldica.org/topics/france/navarre.htm France, Navarre, Béarn and Andorra]</ref> ==References==<references/>
