	Kingdom of León - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 913, an independent Kingdom of León was founded when the Christian princes of Asturias along the northern coast of the peninsula shifted their main seat from Oviedo to the city of León.
		Constant rivalry between the two kingdoms opened rifts that could be exploited by outsiders, and Sancho III "the Great" of Navarre (1004–35) absorbed Castile in the 1020s, and added León in the last year of his life, leaving Galicia to temporary independence.
		The two kingdoms of León and Castile were split again around 1195, when a major defeat of Alfonso VIII weakened the authority of Castile, but the lands were reunited in 1230 under Ferdinand III.

	A Brief History of Castile and Leon. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.
		The last time the personality of the old kingdom of Castile seemed to assert itself in all its vigour was at the beginning of the 16th century with the War of the 'Comuneros' which, although going beyond the geographical confines of Castile itself, had its principal centres there.
