The Cortes of Aragon is a legislative assembly that represents the historical region of Aragon in northeastern Spain. Established in the late Middle Ages, it played a crucial role in the governance of the region, allowing local nobles and representatives to participate in decision-making processes. The Cortes addressed issues such as taxation, laws, and regional autonomy. Throughout its history, the Cortes of Aragon has been known for its unique privileges and rights, which distinguished it from other Spanish regions. It contributed to the development of a distinct Aragonese identity and maintained a degree of self-governance, particularly during the Crown of Aragon period.
