'''Jakob I Erobreren''' ([[Catalansk]]: ''Jaume el Conqueridor'', [[Occitansk]]: ''Jacme lo Conquistaire'', [[AragonesiskAragonsk (sprog)|Aragonsk]]: ''Chaime lo Conqueridor'', [[Spansk|Spanish]]: ''Jaime el Conquistador''; 2 February 1208 – 27 July 1276) var [[Grevskabet Barcelona|greve af Barcelona]], konge af [[Aragonien]], konge af [[Valencia]], [[Regenter i Kongeriget Mallorca|konge af Mallorca]] og herre af [[Montpellier]] fra 1213 til 1276. Under hans lange regeringsperiode udvidede [[Huset Barcelona]] sig mod syd ind i Valencia, ind i [[Languedoc]] mod nord og mod øst til [[Balearerne]]. Ved [[Traktaten i Corbeil (1258)|Corbeil-traktaten]] i [[1258]] med [[Ludvig IX af Frankrig]] fik han fuldt overherredømme over grevskabet Barcelona, som indtil da formelt havde hørt under den franske konge. HanHans andel i [[Reconquista]] i det østlige Spanien svarede til hans samtidige [[Ferdinand III af KastillenKastilien]]s rolle i [[Andalusien]].

Peter endeavoured to placate the northern crusaders by arranging a marriage between his son James and Simon's daughter. He entrusted the boy to be educated in Montfort's care in 1211, but was soon forced to take up arms against him, dying at the [[Battle of Muret]] on 12 September 1213. Montfort would willingly have used James as a means of extending his own power had not the Aragonese appealed to [[Pope Innocent III]], who insisted that Montfort surrender him. James was handed over, at [[Carcassonne]],{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} in May or June 1214, to the [[papal legate]] [[Peter of Benevento]].
James was then sent to [[Monzón]], where he was entrusted to the care of [[Guillem de Montredó]],<ref>Juan Garcia Atienza: The Knights Templar in the Golden Age of Spain, P.149</ref> the head of the [[Knights Templar]] in Spain and Provence; the regency meanwhile fell to his great uncle [[Sancho, Count of Provence|Sancho, Count of Roussillon]], and his son, the king's cousin, [[Nuño Sánchez|Nuño]]. The kingdom was given over to confusion until, in 1217, the Templars and some of the more loyal nobles brought the young king to [[Zaragoza]].<ref name="Chaytor82">Chaytor, 82.</ref>
