Aragonese succession – Birth of a son
On 1136, Agnes of Aquitaine would give birth to a son, it was a miracle that would secure the succession of the Kingdom of Aragon, the son would be baptized as Alfonso of Aragon which would mean that the Kingdom of Aragon would be under the same dynasty as the Kingdom of Navarre.
After the birth of Alfonso II of Aragon, his father, Ramiro II would retire as a monk a year afterwards and his mother, Agnes of Aquitaine would be one of the regents of the Kingdom of Aragon and she would be secure in her position as the Queen of Aragon.
On the following year, Ramon Berenguer IV would marry Eleanor of Aquitaine to secure an alliance against Toulouse to protect their interest in their holdings in Toulouse and Gothia and to protect the interests of their kin in Provence.

Matilda and Geoffrey
After the death of William X of Aquitaine in 1139, William XI Aigret of Aquitaine would succeed in Aquitaine and would continue to support Matilda of England and Geoffrey V of Anjou in their own claims to England and William XI would betroth his sister, Agnes to Henry, the son of Geoffrey VI of Anjou and Matilda, the support of William X of Aquitaine and William XI of Aquitaine would be a major factor that would help the tides in favor of the Angevins in their quest to rule in England.
William XI of Aquitaine would send troops for Matilda of England and Geoffrey V of Anjou in reclaiming Normandy boosting their forces in securing Normandy which lessened their desperation in finding support from the French King in claiming the Norman and English inheritance.

The Succession of Toulouse
On 1141, Louis VII and William XI of Aquitaine would start an expedition to claim the County of Toulouse from Alfonso Jordan, that was after the wedding of Constance of France and William XI of Aquitaine, they would support the nobles of Toulouse who are against the wedding of Emengarde of Narbonne and Alfonso Jordan of Toulouse, the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona ensured that Ramon Berenguer IV would never make peace with Alfonso Jordan and ally with WIlliam XI of Aquitaine but Ramon Berenguer IV would chose not to join the expedition against Alfonso Jordan as they had already partitioned Provence.
William XI of Aquitaine would secure the County of Toulouse in exchange for allowing Emengarde of Narbonne to continue being married to Alfonso Jordan who would retain the March of Gothia, County of Albi, County of Rouergue, and the Margraviate of Provence.
