Resumen:
This thesis aims to analyze all the medieval representations of the king of Aragon in order to establish the different types of representation, to see how they adapt the iconographies of Antiquity and Medieval Europe, to highlight new developments and to determine if they arose as a response to historical particularities, to new concepts of power, to the personality of the monarch, or to the purpose for which each work was commissioned. The thesis offers an unprecedented corpus of images and a detailed discussion of the royal iconography over six centuries. It tries to determine the precedents and consequences of each representation and the impulses that led to its commission. Likewise, it highlights the most significant changes and the reasons for these. Some of these changes have already been described by other authors, whereas others are presented here for the first time in form of hypotheses that take into consideration the context in which each image was created
