The King of Aragón was the direct King of the Aragonese region, and held also the title of King Of Valencia , King Of Mallorca (for a time), Count Of Barcelona , Lord of Montpellier , and, only temporally, Duke Of Athens And Neopatria . Each of these titles gave him sovereignty over a certain region, and these titles changed as he lost and won territories.
