[editar] Primeros años de reinado
Heredó el condado de Barcelona de su padre Ramón Berenguer III el 19 de agosto de 1131. El 11 de agosto de 1137 fue abatido en HuescaA la infanta Petronila de Aragón, de un año de edad. Su padre, Ramiro II de Aragón el Monje, que buscó la ayuda de Barcelona contra Alfonso VII de Castilla, abdicó el 13 de noviembre de ese mismo año, dejando su reino a Petronila y Ramón Berenguer. Este último se convirtió esencialmente en gobernante de Aragón, aunque nunca fue rey, sino conde de Barcelona, príncipe del Reino de Aragón. Fue el último gobernante catalán en usar el título de conde como el primero; a partir de su hijo Alfonso II de Aragón, los condes de Barcelona se autodenominaron, en primer lugar, reyes de Aragón.
El tratado entre Ramón Berenguer y su suegro estipulaba que sus descendientes gobernarían conjuntamente sobre ambos reinos. Incluso si Petronila muriera antes de que el matrimonio pudiera consumarse, Berenguer seguiría heredando el título de rey de Aragón. [cita requerida] Ambos reinos preservarían sus leyes, instituciones y autonomía, permaneciendo legalmente distintos pero federados en una unión dinástica bajo una sola Casa gobernante. Los historiadores consideran este arreglo como la jugada maestra política de la Edad Media hispánica. Ambos reinos ganaron mayor fuerza y seguridad y Aragón obtuvo su tan necesaria salida al mar. Por otro lado, la formación de una nueva entidad política en el noreste en un momento en que Portugal se separó de León en el oeste dio más equilibrio a los reinos cristianos de la península. Ramón Berenguer logró sacar a Aragón de su empeño sometimiento a Castilla, ayudado sin duda por la belleza y el encanto de su hermana Berenguela, esposa del emperador Alfonso, por la que era conocida en su tiempo.
[editar] Cruzadas y guerras
En los años centrales de su gobierno, su atención se centró en las campañas contra los moros. En octubre de 1147, como parte de la Segunda Cruzada, ayudó a Castilla a conquistar Almería. Luego invadió las tierras del reino taifa almorávide de Valencia y Murcia. En diciembre de 1148, capturó Tortosa después de un asedio de cinco meses con la ayuda de cruzados franceses y genoveses. [1] Al año siguiente, Fraga, Lleida y Mequinenza, en la confluencia de los ríos Segre y Ebro, cayeron en manos de su ejército. La reconquista de la Cataluña moderna se había completado.
Ramón Berenguer también hizo campaña en Provenza, ayudando a su hermano Berenguer Ramón y a su sobrino Ramón Berenguer II contra los condes de Toulouse. Durante la minoría de edad de Ramón Berenguer II, el conde de Barcelona también actuó como regente de Provenza (entre 1144 y 1157). En 1151, Ramón firmó el Tratado de Tudilén con Alfonso VII de León. El tratado definía las zonas de conquista en Andalucía para evitar que los dos gobernantes entraran en conflicto. También en 1151, Ramon Berenguer fundó y dotó el monasterio real de Poblet. En 1154 aceptó la regencia de Gastón V de Béarn a cambio de que los nobles bearneses le rindieran homenaje en Canfranc, uniendo así aquel pequeño principado con el creciente imperio catalanoaragonés.
[editar] Muerte
Murió en 1162 en Borgo San Dalmazzo, Piamonte, Italia, dejando el título de conde de Barcelona a su hijo mayor Ramón Berenguer, quien al año siguiente heredó el título de rey de Aragón de la abdicación de su madre Petronila de Aragón (Ramiro II ya había muerto), y, en homenaje al aragonés, cambió su nombre por el de Alfonso y se convirtió en Alfonso II de Aragón. El hijo menor de Ramón Berenguer, Pedro Heredó la comarca de la Cerdanya y tierras al norte de los Pirineos.

[edit] Early reign
He inherited the county of Barcelona from his father Ramon Berenguer III on August 19, 1131. On August 11, 1137 in Huesca he was betrothed to the infant Petronila of Aragon, aged one at the time. Her father, Ramiro II of Aragon the Monk, who sought Barcelona's aid against Alfonso VII of Castile, abdicated on November 13 that same year, leaving his kingdom to Petronilla and Ramon Berenguer. The latter essentially became ruler of Aragon, although he was never king himself, but instead Count of Barcelona, Prince of the Kingdom of Aragon. He was the last Catalan ruler to use the title of Count as his first; starting with his son Alfonso II of Aragon the counts of Barcelona styled themselves, in the first place, as kings of Aragon.
The treaty between Ramon Berenguer and his father-in-law stipulated that their descendants would rule jointly over both realms. Even should Petronila die before the marriage could be consummated, Berenguer would still inherit the title of King of Aragon.[citation needed] Both realms would preserve their laws, institutions and autonomy, remaining legally distinct but federated in a dynastic union under one ruling House. Historians consider this arrangement the political masterstroke of the Hispanic Middle Ages. Both realms gained greater strength and security and Aragon got its much needed outlet to the sea. On the other hand, formation of a new political entity in the north-east at a time when Portugal seceded from León in the west gave more balance to the Christian kingdoms of the peninsula. Ramon Berenguer successfully pulled Aragon out of its pledged submission to Castile, aided no doubt by the beauty and charm of his sister Berenguela, wife of Alfonso the Emperor, for which she was well-known in her time.
[edit] Crusades and wars
In the middle years of his rule, his attention turned to campaigns against the Moors. In October 1147, as part of the Second Crusade, he helped Castile to conquer Almería. He then invaded the lands of the Almoravid taifa kingdom of Valencia and Murcia. In December 1148, he captured Tortosa after a five-month siege with the help of French and Genoese crusaders.[1] The next year, Fraga, Lleida and Mequinenza in the confluence of the Segre and Ebro rivers fell to his army. The reconquista of modern Catalonia was completed.
Ramon Berenguer also campaigned in Provence, helping his brother Berenguer Ramon and his infant nephew Ramon Berenguer II against Counts of Toulouse. During the minority of Ramon Berenger II the Count of Barcelona also acted as the regent of Provence (between 1144 and 1157). In 1151, Ramon signed the Treaty of Tudilén with Alfonso VII of León. The treaty defined the zones of conquest in Andalusia in order to prevent the two rulers from coming into conflict. Also in 1151, Ramon Berenguer founded and endowed the royal monastery of Poblet. In 1154, he accepted the regency of Gaston V of Béarn in return for the Bearnese nobles rendering him homage at Canfranc, thus uniting that small principality with the growing Catalanoaragonese empire.
[edit] Death
He died in 1162 in Borgo San Dalmazzo, Piedmont, Italy, leaving the title of Count of Barcelona to his eldest son Ramon Berenguer, who next year inherited the title of King of Aragon from his mother's abdication Petronila of Aragon (Ramiro II was already dead), and, in compliment to the Aragonese, changed his name to Alfonso and became Alfonso II of Aragon. Ramon Berenguer's younger son Pedro inherited the county of Cerdanya and lands north of the Pyrenees.

In the course of their negotiations, he was promised the hand of the Aragonese king Ramiro II's daughter and heir, Petronila (Peronella); they were married on Aug. 11, 1137, and a few months later (November 13), Ramiro II abdicated in favour of his daughter and son-in-law. Ramon Berenguer IV thus became the last count of Barcelona to take this as his principal title, for, from 1137, he was also ruler of Aragon (though he himself never assumed the title of king). From the reign of his son, who in 1162 succeeded him with the title of Alfonso II, the counts of Barcelona styled themselves, in the first place, kings of Aragon.
When Ramon Berenguer IV's father had died, he had left the county of Provence to a younger son. When this son died, his brother Ramon Berenguer IV acted as regent (conventionally with the title Ramon Berenguer II of Provence) until the legitimate heir, his young nephew, reached majority in 1157, as Ramon Berenguer III of Provence. When this count of Provence died in 1166 without a male heir, he was succeeded by Ramon Berenguer IV's son Alfonso II, king of Aragon. By his wars and conquests from the Moors--Tortosa (1148), Lerida, Mequinenza, and Fraga (1149), and Prades and Siurana (1153)--Ramon Berenguer IV definitively established the boundaries of the principality of Catalonia.

Ramón Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona, was also called Ramon "the Holy." He effected the union between Aragon and Catalonia into the Crown of Aragon.
On August 11, 1137 in Huesca, Ramón was betrothed to the infant Petronila of Aragon, aged one at the time. Her father, Ramiro II of Aragon, the "Monk," who sought Barcelona's aid against King Alfonso VII of Castile, abdicated on November 13 that same year, leaving his kingdom to Petronilla and Ramón Berenguer. The latter essentially became ruler of Aragon, although he was never King himself, but instead Count of Barcelona, Prince of the Kingdom of Aragon. He was the last Catalan ruler to use the title of Count as his first; starting with his son Alfonso II of Aragon the counts of Barcelona styled themselves, in the first place, as kings of Aragon.
The treaty between Ramon Berenguer and his father-in-law stipulated that their descendants would rule jointly over both realms. Even should Petronila die before the marriage could be consummated, Berenguer would still inherit the title of King of Aragon.Both realms would preserve their laws, institutions and autonomy, remaining legally distinct but federated in a dynastic union under one ruling House. Historians consider this arrangement the political masterstroke of the Hispanic Middle Ages. Both realms gained greater strength and security and Aragon got its much needed outlet to the sea. On the other hand, formation of a new political entity in the north-east at a time when Portugal seceded from León in the west gave more balance to the Christian kingdoms of the peninsula. Ramon Berenguer successfully pulled Aragon out of its pledged submission to Castile, aided no doubt by the beauty and charm of his sister Berenguela, wife of Alfonso the Emperor, for which she was well-known in her time.
In the middle years of his rule, his attention turned to campaigns against the Moors. In October 1147, as part of the Second Crusade, he helped Castile to conquer Almería. He then invaded the lands of the Almoravid taifa kingdom of Valencia and Murcia. In December 1148, he captured Tortosa after a five-month siege with the help of French and Genoese crusaders. The next year, Fraga, Lleida and Mequinenza in the confluence of the Segre and Ebro rivers fell to his army. The reconquista of modern Catalonia was completed.
Ramon Berenger also campaigned in Provence, helping his brother Berenguer Ramon and his infant nephew Ramon Berenguer II against Counts of Toulouse. During the minority of Ramon Berenger II the Count of Barcelona also acted as the regent of Provence (between 1144 and 1157). In 1151, Ramon signed the Treaty of Tudilén with Alfonso VII of León. The treaty defined the zones of conquest in Andalusia in order to prevent the two rulers from coming into conflict. Also in 1151, Ramon Berenguer founded and endowed the royal monastery of Poblet. In 1154, he accepted the regency of Gaston V of Béarn in return for the Bearnese nobles rendering him homage at Canfranc, thus uniting that small principality with the growing Aragonese empire.

Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona also called Ramon the Holy (c. 1113 – 6 August 1162) effected the union between Aragon and Catalonia.
Early reign[edit] Ramon Berenguer IV inherited the county of Barcelona from his father Ramon Berenguer III on 19 August 1131. On 11 August 1137, at the age of about 24, he was betrothed to the infant Petronilla of Aragon, aged one at the time. Petronilla's father, Ramiro II of Aragon, who sought Barcelona's aid against Alfonso VII of Castile, withdrew from public life on 13 November 1137, leaving his kingdom to Petronilla and Ramon Berenguer, the latter in effect becoming ruler of Aragon, although he was never king himself, instead commonly using the titles "Count of the Barcelonans and Prince of the Aragonians" (Comes Barcinonensis et Princeps Aragonensis), and occasionally those of "Marquis of Lleida and Tortosa" (after conquering these cities). He was the last Catalan ruler to use "Count" as his primary title; starting with his son Alfonso II of Aragon the counts of Barcelona styled themselves, in the first place, as kings of Aragon.
The treaty between Ramon Berenguer and his father-in-law, Ramiro II, stipulated that their descendants would rule jointly over both realms, and that even if Petronilla died before the marriage could be consummated, Berenguer's heirs would still inherit the Kingdom of Aragon.[2] Both realms would preserve their laws, institutions and autonomy, remaining legally distinct but federated in a dynastic union under one ruling House. Historians consider this arrangement the political masterstroke of the Hispanic Middle Ages. Both realms gained greater strength and security and Aragon got its much needed outlet to the sea. On the other hand, formation of a new political entity in the north-east at the time when Portugal seceded from León in the west gave more balance to the Christian kingdoms of the peninsula. Ramon Berenguer successfully pulled Aragon out of its pledged submission to Castile, aided no doubt by his sister Berengaria, wife of Alfonso the Emperor, who was well known in her time for her beauty and charm.
Crusades and wars[edit] In the middle years of his rule, Ramon Berenguer turned his attention to campaigns against the Moors. In October 1147, as part of the Second Crusade, he helped Castile to conquer Almería. He then invaded the lands of the Almoravid taifa kingdoms of Valencia and Murcia. In December 1148, he captured Tortosa after a five-month siege with the help of Southern French, Anglo-Norman and Genoese crusaders.[3] (When Moors later tried to recapture Tortosa, the women put up such a spirited defense that Berenger created for them the Order of the Hatchet.) The next year, Fraga, Lleida and Mequinenza in the confluence of the Segre and Ebro rivers fell to his army. The reconquista of modern Catalonia was completed.
Ramon Berenguer also campaigned in Provence, helping his brother Berenguer Ramon and his infant nephew Ramon Berenguer II against the Counts of Toulouse. During the minority of Ramon Berenguer II, the Count of Barcelona also acted as the regent of Provence (between 1144 and 1157). In 1151, Ramon signed the Treaty of Tudilén with Alfonso VII of León and Castile. The treaty defined the zones of conquest in Andalusia as an attempt to prevent the two rulers from coming into conflict. Also in 1151, Ramon Berenguer founded and endowed the royal monastery of Poblet. In 1154, he accepted the regency of Gaston V of Béarn in return for the Bearnese nobles rendering him homage at Canfranc, thus uniting that small principality with the growing Aragonese empire.
Death[edit] Ramon Berenguer IV died on 6 August 1162 in Borgo San Dalmazzo, Piedmont, Italy, leaving the title of Count of Barcelona to his eldest surviving son, Ramon Berenguer, who inherited the title of King of Aragon after the abdication of his mother Petronilla of Aragon two years later in 1164. He changed his name to Alfonso as a nod to his Aragonese lineage, and became Alfonso II of Aragon. Ramon Berenguer IV's younger son Pere (Peter) inherited the county of Cerdanya and lands north of the Pyrenees, and changed his name to Ramon Berenguer.
