Thats really cool but was the last picture before or after Isabella and Ferdinand captured Granada
 
The Kingdom of Navarre has always fascinated me and its one Kingdom I'd love to read more on.For part of its history it was united with the French Crown and then independent until it was invaded and annexed by Ferdinand of Aragon.I'm never sure whether I should regard Medieval Navarre as 'Spanish' or 'French' or maybe neither!

1515 The Courts of Castile incorporate this kingdom to that of Castile

Except for a remnant which maintained its independence until after King Henri III of Navarre inherited the French throne.
 
I've always regarded Catherine Ier as more French than Spanish ,her mother was a French Royal Princess ,Madeleine de Valois and her father was from the French noble House of Foix.

I always wondered why the kings would split up the area like parcels instead of keeping them together, I recall Charlemagne or Otto I did the same thing? But looking at the map, and a bit remembering my geography on the area, it does make sense.

Spain was sparsely populated and getting from point A to point B, like in Greece, was not easy. And like with the geography of Greece, Italy and Germany, this favored pockets of independent governments.
