They were the two Kingdoms that together covered most of what is now known as Spain. Aragon was the north-eastern Kingdom with the city of Barcelona as its center. Castile covered the central heartland. The marriage of the King of Aragon with the Queen of Castile and their defeat and conquest of the Saracen kingdom in southern Spain is seen as the start of "Spain" as a national entity.
