	A Brief History of Castile and Leon.
		Castile and Leon is a region which seems to have been peopled by Iberians, Celts and Ligures, and was not disturbed by the Phoenicians, Greek or Carthaginian invasions.
		With Fernan Gonzalez (950), Castile emerged as a hereditary County, still as a vassal to Leon, until in 1029 it came into the possession of Sancho III of Navarre and, on his death, was passed on to his son Ferdinand I, the first king of Castile.
		Ferdinand absorbed into his kingdom Leon and the Muslim territories, only to divide up the kingdom again on his death, sharing it out between his sons Sancho and Alfonso.

	History of Castile and Leon - IBWiki
		These effects, combined with the expulsion of Castile and Leon's most economically vital classes in the late 15th century (the Jews and the Moors), caused Castile and Leon's economy to collapse several times in the 16th century, bringing the Golden Age of Castile and Leon to a close.
		Additionally, Castile and Leon became dependent on her colonies for income, and when Queen Elizabeth I of England began to capture Spanish vessels on the way to and from the New World, Spain suffered massive economic losses.
		Alfonso XII of Castile and Leon and Ferdinand II of Aragon still joined a final effort to invade Granada, expulse the Jews and forcefully convert the Moors.

	Historical Flags (Castile and Leon, Spain)
		Basque vessels from these territories would only fly the banner-of-arms of Castile and Leon if they were royal vessels, belonged to the Castilian navy or had been in one way or another commissioned by the king (as was the case, for instance, with Columbus' ships).

	Introduction: The Cortes of Castile-León
		Thus, whereas the English parliament, consisting of two houses of lords and commons, was a single assembly for the entire realm, the prelates, nobles, and townsmen in the cortes of Castile-León remained separate entities.
		In this respect, the parliamentary history of Castile-León bears a closer resemblance to that of France, where the king summoned the three estates to separate assemblies for Languedoil and Languedoc, and where provincial assemblies were also common.
		Even before the close of the thirteenth century, the cortes had emerged in all the Christian states of Spain, namely Castile, León, Portugal, Aragón, Catalonia, Valencia, and Navarre.
