Prior to the Moorish invasion the Iberian Peninsula was a collection of principalities and kingdoms with a common language. After the Moorish invasion these individual units, sometimes alone, and sometimes in alliance with other units resisted and rebelled and began a slow, area by area, push toward the South. Eventually the three largest kingdoms, Castile, Leon, and Aragon were united by the 1469 marriage of Isabel I, Queen of Castile and Leon to Ferdinand II, the King of Aragon. These two monarchs served as co-rulers of their individual kingdoms until Isabels death in 1504. By 1492 they had succeeded in expelling the Moors from what became Spain. As the wealth of the Americas flowed into their coffers they became the preeminent power in Spain.
