Actually Isabel and Ferdinand did not "Unite" anything.

Ferdinand II was the King of Aragon. Isabela I was the Queen of Castile and Leon. They were married in 1469. Each ruled their own kingdom(s) and co-ruled their spouse' kingdom. Both were deceased by 1516.

Spain did not come into being (was "United") until their Grandson Carlos I of Spain, also known as Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, inherited the 3 kingdoms in 1516. Isabela I and Ferdinand II never ruled "Spain".

Isabela I died in 1504 and was succeeded by her daughter, Juana la Loca (Juana the crazy, who was in turn succeeded by Philip I. Ferdinand ruled Aragon until his death in 1516.
