The Kingdom of Valencia was a historical territory in eastern Spain, established in the 13th century after the Christian conquest of the region from the Moors. It became part of the Crown of Aragon and was known for its rich agricultural land, particularly in producing rice and citrus fruits. The capital city, Valencia, served as a cultural and economic center. The kingdom had its own laws and institutions, including the Corts Valencianes, which represented the local nobility and towns. Over time, the Kingdom of Valencia played a significant role in the political landscape of Spain, especially during the Reconquista and the subsequent unification of Spain.
