There was not a king and queen of Spain in 1492. Ferdinand II ruled Aragon and co-ruled Leon and Castile with Queen Isabel I. Isabel I was Queen of Castile and Leon and co-ruled Aragon with Ferdinand. They ruled those three kingdoms together but were only the Monarchs of their own kingdom(s). Consequently they were not the monarchs of Spain. Nor were their children. Spain was only unified when all three kingdoms were inherited by their grandson Carlos I of Spain in 1516. At that point it became one kingdom. Carlos I was Crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1519, and King of Bologna on 22 February, 1530. All told he was King of Spain first (1516), Holy Roman Emperor later(1520), and still later King of the Romans and King of Italy(1530). Charles abdicated his various title in 1555. There was not a king and queen of Spain in 1495.
