The inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula spent 700+ years ejecting the Moorish conquerors from the peninsula. They were left with a group of individual kingdoms and principalities. The Catholic monarchs Isabella I and Fernando II married and between them governed 3 kingdoms. Isabella was the Queen of the kingdom Castile and the kingdom of Leon. She DID NOT yield her power to her husband when they wed. Fernando was the King of Aragon and he did not yield his power to his wife. They collectively agreed on what to do but they each did it independently of the other.
