| Abstract | "There were several attempts at uniting the kingdoms of Castile and Leon under a single crown during the period from the 11th to the 13th centuries. They involved the assassination of two Kings of Leon for the Kings of Castile to be able to marry their bride and sister, respectively; two divisions of the temporarily united kingdoms between several heirs who fought a few wars among themselves; the assassination of a king of Castile by that of Leon; the break of a uniting marriage; and a more peaceful marriage between the King of Leon and the Queen of Castile, who formed the Crown of Castile, also including Galicia, and led to the reign of the Trastamara dynasty from mid-14th century on. In parallel, the formation of the Crown of Aragon involved the initial assassination of the heirs of two parts of the Kingdom"-- Provided by publisher. |
