Hello boys and girls from the 5th grade, today I am going to show you some basic aspects

1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
about the Catholic Monarchs.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000
During the first half of the 15th century, the Iberian Peninsula was divided into five

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
large territories, the Crown of Castile, the Crown of Aragon, the Kingdom of Navarra, the

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Kingdom of Portugal and the Islamic Kingdom of Granada.

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
The Crown of Castile was marked by continuous revolts of the nobles in the 15th century.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:40,000
When King Henry IV died in 1474, the Castilians were divided between the supporters of his

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:49,000
daughter Juana de la Veltraneja and the supporters of her sister Isabella, and Isabella was finally

8
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
the winner of that battle.

9
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:01,000
In 1469, Ferdinand, son of the King of Aragon, married Isabella, and 10 years later, in 1479,

10
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
when Isabella became Queen of Castile and Ferdinand King of Aragon, the two crowns were

11
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
united.

12
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
The Catholic Monarchs governed their territories together, but each kingdom had its own laws

13
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
and institutions, it was a dynastic union.
