The Dynastic Union of the House of Trastámara
At the beginning of the Early Modern Period, there were five kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula:
- The Crown of Aragon.
- The Crown of Castile.
- Granada (Nasrid Kingdom).
- Navarre.
- Portugal.
Key Events in the Dynastic Union:
- 1469: Ferdinand II of Aragon married Isabella of Castile, half-sister of Henry IV of Castile.
- 1474: Henry IV died. His daughter Joanna (La Beltraneja) was meant to inherit the Crown of Castile.
- 1474-1479: A civil war ensued between Joanna and Isabella of Castile, supported by Portugal and Aragon, respectively.
- 1479: Isabella won the war over Joanna, and Ferdinand became King of Aragon after the death of his father. From then on, Isabella I would be the ruler of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon.
