The consequence was a dynastic union of the Crown of Castile and the <a href="/wiki/Crown_of_Aragon" title="Crown of Aragon">Crown of Aragon</a> in 1479 when Ferdinand ascended to the Aragonese throne. This union however was not effective until the reign of his grandson <a href="/wiki/Charles_V,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor">Charles I (Holy Roman Emperor Charles V)</a>. Ferdinand and Isabella were related and had married without papal approval. Although Isabella wanted to marry Ferdinand, she refused to proceed with the marriage until she received a <a href="/wiki/Papal_dispensation" class="mw-redirect" title="Papal dispensation">Papal dispensation</a>. Consequently, Ferdinand's father forged a papal dispensation for the two to marry. Isabella believed that the dispensation was authentic and the marriage went ahead. A genuine papal dispensation arrived afterwards. Later <a href="/wiki/Pope_Alexander_VI" title="Pope Alexander VI">Pope Alexander VI</a> bestowed upon them the title of <i><a href="/wiki/Catholic_Monarchs" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholic Monarchs">'los Reyes Católicos'</a></i> ('the Catholic Monarchs'). </p><p><a href="/wiki/Henry_IV_of_Castile" title="Henry IV of Castile">Henry IV</a>, half brother of Isabella, considered the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella as breaking the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_the_Bulls_of_Guisando" title="Treaty of the Bulls of Guisando">Treaty of the Bulls of Guisando</a>, under which Isabella would ascend to the Castilian throne on his death only if her suitor was approved by him.

When he died in 1474 the <a href="/wiki/War_of_the_Castilian_Succession" title="War of the Castilian Succession">War of the Castilian Succession</a> broke out over who would ascend to the throne.

However, this was a personal union and both kingdoms remained administratively separate to some extent, each maintaining largely its own laws; both parliaments remained separate, the only common institution would be the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition" title="Spanish Inquisition">Inquisition</a>. Despite their titles of "Monarchs of Castile, Leon, Aragon and Sicily" Ferdinand and Isabella reigned over their respective territories, although they also took decisions together. Its central position, larger territorial area (three times greater than that of Aragon) and larger population (4.3&#160;million as opposed to the 1&#160;million in Aragon) led to Castile becoming the dominating partner in the union. </p><p>As a result of the <i><a href="/wiki/Reconquista" title="Reconquista">Reconquista</a></i> (Reconquest) the Castilian aristocracy had become very powerful. The monarchs needed to assert their authority over the nobility and the clergy. With this end in mind they founded a law enforcement body, the <i>Consejo de la Hermandad</i>, more commonly known as the <i><a href="/wiki/Hermandad" class="mw-redirect" title="Hermandad">Santa Hermandad</a></i> (the Holy Brotherhood), which was staffed and funded by the municipalities. They also took further measures against the nobility, destroying feudal castles, prohibiting private wars and reducing the power of the <i><a href="/wiki/Adelantado" title="Adelantado">Adelantados</a></i> (a governor-like military office in regions recently conquered). The monarchy incorporated military orders under the <i>Consejo de las Órdenes</i> in 1495, reinforced royal judicial power over the feudal one and transformed the <i><a href="/wiki/Audiencia_Real" class="mw-redirect" title="Audiencia Real">Audiencias</a></i> into the supreme judicial bodies. The crown also sought to better control the cities, and so in 1480 in the Cortes of Toledo it created the <i>corregidores</i>, representatives of the crown, which supervised the city councils. In religion, they reformed religious orders and sought unity of the various sections of the church. They pressured Jews to convert to Catholicism, in some cases persecuted by the Inquisition. Finally in 1492, the monarchs decided that those who would not convert would be expelled. It is estimated that between 50,000 and 70,000 people were expelled from Castile. From 1502 onwards, they began to convert the Muslim population. </p><p>Between 1478 and 1497 the monarchs' forces conquered the three <a href="/wiki/Canary_Islands" title="Canary Islands">Canary Islands</a> of <a href="/wiki/Gran_Canaria" title="Gran Canaria">Gran Canaria</a>, <a href="/wiki/La_Palma" title="La Palma">La Palma</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tenerife" title="Tenerife">Tenerife</a>. On 2 January 1492 the monarchs entered <a href="/wiki/Granada" title="Granada">Granada</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Alhambra" title="Alhambra">Alhambra</a> marking the completion and end of the <i>Reconquista</i>. Also in 1492, the <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Columbus" title="Christopher Columbus">Christopher Columbus</a> maritime expedition claimed the newly found lands in <a href="/wiki/Spanish_colonization_of_the_Americas" title="Spanish colonization of the Americas">the Americas</a> for the Crown of Castile and began the <a href="/wiki/New_World" title="New World">New World</a> conquests. In 1497 Castile conquered <a href="/wiki/Melilla" title="Melilla">Melilla</a> on the north coast of North Africa. After Castile's conquest of the Kingdom of Granada, its politics turned towards the Mediterranean, and Castile militarily helped Aragon in its problems with France, culminating in the reconquest of <a href="/wiki/Naples" title="Naples">Naples</a> for the Crown of Aragon in 1504.

In the 'Salamanca Agreement' of 1505, it was decided that the government would be shared by Philip I, Ferdinand V and Joanna. However, poor relations between Phillip, who was supported by the Castilian nobility, and Ferdinand resulted in Ferdinand renouncing his regent's powers in Castile in order to avoid an armed conflict. </p><p>Through the <i>Concordia de Villafáfila</i> of 1506, Ferdinand returned to Aragon and Phillip was recognized as King of Castile, with Joanna a co-monarch.

The Castilian nobility and the cities were on the verge of an uprising to defend their rights. Many Castilians favoured the king's younger brother <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_I,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor">Ferdinand</a>, who grew up in Castile, and in fact the <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Castile" title="Council of Castile">Council of Castile</a> opposed the idea of Charles as King of Castile. </p><p>In 1518 the Castilian parliament in <a href="/wiki/Valladolid" title="Valladolid">Valladolid</a> named the <a href="/wiki/Wallonia" title="Wallonia">Wallonian</a> Jean de Sauvage as its president. This caused angry protests in the parliament, which rejected the presence of foreigners in its deliberations. Despite threats, the parliament led by Juan de Zumel representing <a href="/wiki/Burgos" title="Burgos">Burgos</a>, resisted and forced the king to respect the laws of Castile, remove all foreigners from important governmental posts, and learn to speak <a href="/wiki/Spanish_language" title="Spanish language">Castilian</a>. After taking his oath, Charles received a subsidy of 600,000 ducats. </p><p>Charles was conscious of the fact that he had options to become emperor and needed to impose his authority over Castile to gain access to its riches for his imperial goals. The riches from the <a href="/wiki/Americas" title="Americas">Americas</a> came through Castile which was one of the more dynamic, rich, and advanced territories in Europe in the 16th century. It started to realise that it could become immersed within an empire. This, added to the broken promise of Charles, only increased hostility towards the king. In 1520 in <a href="/wiki/Toledo,_Spain" title="Toledo, Spain">Toledo</a> Parliament rejected a further subsidy for the king. Parliament in <a href="/wiki/Santiago_de_Compostela" title="Santiago de Compostela">Santiago de Compostela</a> reached the same decision. Finally, when Parliament was held in <a href="/wiki/A_Coru%C3%B1a" title="A Coruña">A Coruña</a>, many members were bribed and others denied entry, with the result that the subsidy was approved. Those members who voted in favour were attacked by the Castilian people and their houses were burned. Parliament was not the only opposition which Charles would come up against. When he left Castile in 1520, the <a href="/wiki/Castilian_War_of_the_Communities" class="mw-redirect" title="Castilian War of the Communities">Castilian War of the Communities</a> broke out, and the revolts released Joanna, claiming to support her to be the sole monarch and encouraging her to agree the dethronement of Charles. While sympathetic to revolts, Joanna however refused to sign any documents to support them or depose her son. <i>Los comuneros</i> were defeated one year later (1521). After their defeat, Parliament was reduced to a merely consultative body. To prevent Joanna from being proposed to be an alternative monarch by opponents again, Charles continued her confinement until her death in 1555, after which Charles became the only monarch of Spain. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Imperial_policies_of_Philip_II">Imperial policies of Philip II</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Crown_of_Castile&amp;action=edit&amp;section=17" title="Edit section: Imperial policies of Philip II"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Philip_II_of_Spain" title="Philip II of Spain">Philip II</a> continued the politics of Charles I, but unlike his father he made Castile the core of the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Empire" title="Spanish Empire">Spanish Empire</a>, centralising all administration in <a href="/wiki/Madrid" title="Madrid">Madrid</a>.

That same year Philip ordered the proclamation of the <i>La Pragmática</i>; an act whereby all Moriscos had to abandon all Moorish traditions and become true Catholics. This edict limited religious, linguistic and cultural freedom of the Morisco population and provoked the <a href="/wiki/Morisco_Revolt" class="mw-redirect" title="Morisco Revolt">Morisco Revolt</a> (1568–1571), which was put down by <a href="/wiki/John_of_Austria" title="John of Austria">John of Austria</a>. </p><p>Castile entered a phase of recession in 1575; Spain as a whole followed, which provoked the suspension of wages (the third of his reign).

In 1596, pay was once again suspended. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Later_Habsburgs">Later Habsburgs</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Crown_of_Castile&amp;action=edit&amp;section=18" title="Edit section: Later Habsburgs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Crown_of-Castile_3.PNG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Crown_of-Castile_3.PNG/220px-Crown_of-Castile_3.PNG" decoding="async" width="220" height="191" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Crown_of-Castile_3.PNG/330px-Crown_of-Castile_3.PNG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Crown_of-Castile_3.PNG/440px-Crown_of-Castile_3.PNG 2x" data-file-width="680" data-file-height="591" /></a><figcaption>Worldwide Crown of Castile</figcaption></figure> <p>In the previous kingdoms, positions in national institutions were filled by educated gentlemen.
