| | A Brief History of Castile and Leon. |
| | With Fernan Gonzalez (950), Castile emerged as a hereditary County, still as a vassal to Leon, until in 1029 it came into the possession of Sancho III of Navarre and, on his death, was passed on to his son Ferdinand I, the first king of Castile. | | | Subsequently it was a Roman province, became important with the Visigothic rule and was overrun by the Arabs. | | | Ferdinand absorbed into his kingdom Leon and the Muslim territories, only to divide up the kingdom again on his death, sharing it out between his sons Sancho and Alfonso. |

| | Even before the close of the thirteenth century, the cortes had emerged in all the Christian states of Spain, namely Castile, León, Portugal, Aragón, Catalonia, Valencia, and Navarre. | | | During these reigns representatives of the towns were summoned to join the bishops and nobles in the royal court. | | | From time to time the monarch also convoked the cortes of Castile and León separately, or convened other limited assemblies of the three estates. |

| | Historical Flags (Castile and Leon, Spain) |
| | This flag became to a certain extent obsolete when the accession of the Catholic Kings in 1475 produced the union of the Castilian and Aragonese crowns, and definitively so when King Charles I (Roman Emperor Charles V) became the first King of all Spanish territories (Castile and Leon, Aragon and Navarre) in 1516. | | | This flag was not only the flag of the Kingdoms of Castile and Leon but of all Castile, formed (in 1492) by the Kingdoms of Castile, Leon and Murcia, the Basque provinces, the Canary Islands and some cities in the northern coast of Africa. | | | It was adopted during the reign of Saint Ferdinand III, who united Castile and Leon. |

| | El Bierzo is the first such territory to achieve official status by Law in Castile and Leon. | | | However, I believe that Bercian autonomists / separatists / etc. also consider parts of Ourense province (Galicia). | | | El Bierzo achieved officially the status of Comarca by Law of the Autonomous Community of Castile and Leon in 1994, with a very low degree of self-government in some local matters. |
