Spain and the ancient Kingdoms within Spain
Genealogy for the Kingdom of Spain and the ancient Kingdoms within Spain
The above link contain the detailed pdf family tree charts that go as far as 550 before Christ to this year, 2006 
Danielane, because the information is so extensive maybe we can split it to separate the corrent Dynasties from the House Trastamara to the present? You decide. :)
I'm sorry this one is in Spanish but I promise I'll find an English equivalent soon.
Genealogy of the Kingdom of Navarra and the Kingdom of Aragon (in spanish)
Genealogy of Medieval Lineages in the Spanish kingdoms (in spanish)
three minutes later...I'm back with an english links. This one is a beautiful illustration of the genealogical tree of the Kings of Aragon, Genealogy of Dom Fernando of Portugal, Simon Bening, Bruges, 1530-1534
and List of Aragonese monarchs
The above family tree is also mentioned and illustrated here

Does anybody know if there is an online geneology site for the spanish grandees, or the spanish ducal houses? I am especially interested in the anscestery of the Duke of Feria and the Duke of Segobe.

A dispute between cousins caused the rift. Similar thing happened with the imperial house of Brazil and the Braganzas of Portugal, the Borbon's in Spain etc.
It's the name used to identify the Bourbon family that descended from the Borbons established in Spain that descended from the ones in France.
Here is the official Borbon-Two Sicilies page with the historical archives:
http://www.realcasadiborbone.it/uk/a...rico/index.htm
and more on The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
Enjoy the reading materials!

I was debating in my mind where to place this link, either in Spanish genealogy or Islamic genealogy thread.
Genealogy of Islamic Rulers in Spain years 756 to 1492

Does anyone have any info on the Valencia family from Valencia Spain. Is there a relation to the Spanish monarchy or non reigning noble families? I would really appreciate any info out there.
Thats alot of info!!! Here is another question. Was it a " normal " thing for a family to have the same last name as the area they were from or did they have to be noble to take the name? Im not quite understanding that. The geneological charts show kings that reigned in Valencia but no actual family by that name was listed. Thanks for the information, its mind boggling.

According to Wikipedia, the kingdom of Valencia was established and ruled by the Aragonese kings and their descendants; since the Spanish royals are descended from the Aragonese kings, the answer is affirmative.

PrincessKoreen, I appreciate the response. I have had trouble finding a family with that name. Everything I found speaks of the town. I thought maybe there had to be some nobility for a family to have the same name or for a town to be named after that family. If you come across any other info please let me know. I am very grateful for the help.

Thank you for the additional information PrincessKoreen. So in your opinion, do you think the Valencia family is in fact related to King James I ? Or could it be that someone in the family of the King could have taken the name? The info you have given me is unreal and some heavy reading. I appreciate the help! And thank you for responding to my questions.

The kings of Valencia were also kings of Aragon, which was a bigger and more important title. Therefore, you don't see their main titles as being "King of Valencia," but as "King of Aragon"; "King of Valencia" was a subtitle.
As to the surname, all of its kings would have been known as "____ of Aragon," not of Valencia.
The royal family of Valencia was the same as the royal family of Aragon: James I of Aragon just added Valencia to his domains,
Hope that helps.

PrincessKoreen, you are wonderful! I think I understand what you are saying. The family that carries the name of Valencia or de Valencia are in fact descendents of the House of Aragon. That is incredible. Let me know if you find anything else. I have much reading to do. Again, thank you soooo much for your help. You are awsome!!!

It's quite possible that someone's family name of "Valencia" or "de Valencia" came about just because their ancestors were from Valencia.

I understand. Thank you. I guess I have some intense research to do.
