James I 'The Conqueror', King of Aragon Add Video

King James is one of my Maternal great-great-great (you get the idea!) Grandfathers. One of the greatest Crusader kings in history was James I of Aragon, remembered as 'The Conqueror.'

He may not have been a 'perfect' King... but I feel in my heart of hearts that King James had a 'heart for Christ' and I believe I did inherit that same Heart. He also appears to have been born with a 'lazy eye'... unfortunately I think I may have inherited that gene also!.. (lol)
