Hello, good morning everybody. I'm here to tell you a story, a story that happened long time ago in the Iberian Peninsula where we live.

2
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:35,500
It's a story about kings, queens, explorers and a new territory.

3
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:39,500
The Iberian Peninsula was divided in five kingdoms.

4
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:46,500
The Kingdom of Navarra, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Corona de Castilla, the Corona de Aragón.

5
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:53,740
and small territories holding the Kingdom of Granada were mass enslaved.

6
00:00:53,740 --> 00:01:00,659
In 1469, Isabel and Fernando got married.

7
00:01:00,659 --> 00:01:04,500
They were not yet the Queen of Castilla or the King of Aragon.

8
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:10,980
They became Fernando II of Aragon and Isabel I of Castilla ten years later.

9
00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:18,980
So in 1479, when they became king and queen of different kingdoms, they unified their

10
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:26,239
territories, although both kingdoms still get their own laws and their own institutions,

11
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:29,379
and they were known as the Steinites.

12
00:01:29,379 --> 00:01:35,319
Some years later, in 1492, the Catholic kings conquered the Kingdom of Granada, that kingdom

13
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,019
that was made by Massacres.

14
00:01:38,019 --> 00:01:46,019
They finished the reconquest with that conquest, and they imposed Christianity to all territories, expelling and prohibiting all the religions.

15
00:01:46,019 --> 00:01:54,019
In the 15th century, the Reyes Católicos extended the territory through a lot of parts of Europe and the north of Africa.

16
00:01:54,019 --> 00:02:06,019
They conquered the Reino de Navarra in the Verdeña Peninsula, the Kingdom of Naples in Italy, they also conquered Melilla in the north of Africa and other territories, and also the Canary Islands.

17
00:02:06,019 --> 00:02:13,780
The Reyes Católicos had five children, Isabel, Juan, Juana, María and Catalina.

18
00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:18,879
They tried to marry all of them, making political and territorial alliances with other countries

19
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:23,400
in Europe so they would get more powerful and had more to rejoice.

20
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,900
All their daughters became queens of different European countries because they got married

21
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:31,120
with kings of those countries.

22
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:37,400
When Isabel I died, the daughter Juana, who was called La Loca after him, and his husband

23
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,639
Felipe, who was called El Hermoso, became king of the Queen of Castilla.

24
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,599
But this is a story I will tell you in another moment.
