	Castile and Aragon
		Old Castile is in outline an irregular triangle, the western frontier bordering on the ancient Kingdom of Leon, the south-eastern boundary being the Sierras de Gredos, Guadarrama, and the Moncayo (Mons Caunus), and the north-eastern, the river Ebro.
		Castile, with the title of king, was given to Ferdinand, who had married Sancha, the sister of Bermudo, who was to have married García Sánchez, the last independent count.
		Alfonso VII bore the title of emperor, and extended his conquests as far as Almeria, but he, also, at his death in 1157, divided his possessions among his children, giving Leon to Ferdinand II, and Castile to Sancho, in whose short reign the Military Order of Alcántara was founded.

		In 1469, the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon (later Ferdinand V of Castile) and Isabella I of Castile laid the basis for the union of the two kingdoms and, eventually, of all Spain.
		Alfonso, who had himself expected to acquire Castile, was angered at his wife's action, and, aided by a group of Castilian nobles favorable to his claim, made war upon his newly crowned son.

		In it Alfonso VI stated that he took this action with the counsel, among others, of his son-in-law Count Raymond, and undoubtedly a major event of the council was the public recognition of the high position in the realm now accorded to the Burgundian.

		Regardless of contemporary attitudes, it is an indisputable fact that the modern Spanish language derives in greatest measure from the early speech of Castile, and much of reconquered southern and southwestern Spain also speaks dialects which directly trace their ancestry to medieval Castilian.
		Alfonso X took the Toledo dialect to be the linguistic norm for Castile, and for a considerable time thereafter the Spanish dialect of Toledo enjoyed prominence and prestige as the ideology of nationhood overtook Spain.
		The Spanish of Castile shares most of its morphosyntactic traits with the remainder of Spain, although in rural and isolated dialects archaic and idiosyncratic elements are found.

	Servant of God Queen Isabel the Catholic of Spain
		When Isabel was sworn in as Queen of Castile, she vowed, with her hand on the Bible, to be obedient to the commandments of Holy Church, to honor her prelates and ministers, and to defend the Church with all her strength.

		For example, at the Diet of Worms in Germany, Isabel’s grandson, Charles V, declared himself against Luther’s so-called “reform” by invoking the example of his maternal grandparents, the Catholic Monarchs of Spain.
