Navarre
Spain's Basque province
Navarre is a historical kingdom and region straddling the Pyrenees between Spain and France.
Most of historic Navarre now forms an autonomous community in northern Spain, with a small portion in southwestern France.
The kingdom played a significant role in medieval Iberian politics before its eventual partition: the wines of Navarre, Henry of Navarre became Henry IV of France.
