 | | Galiza is the older form and is found in the earliest texts written in the Galician-Portuguese language, while Galicia gained currency after the region came under the control of the kingdoms of León and later Castile. |
 | | In 1072, it was forcibly reannexed by Garcia\'s brother Alphonso VI of Castile, and from that time Galicia remained part of the kingdom of Castile and Leon, although under differing degrees of self-government. |
 | | The final episode of Galician independence, up to today, was the dynastic conflict between Isabella of Castile and Xoana, called "a beltranexa" ("Daughter of Beltrán", and not to be confused with Juana the Crazy (Joanna of Castile)). |
