v2.c72.s2.1

At the fall of Constantinople in A.D. 1453 to the Turks, the Iberian Peninsula was split up into five kingdoms, viz. Castile, Aragon, Navarre, Portugal and Granada. All the Christian Spain was united by the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon (A.D. 1479-1516) and Isabella of Castile. Thus came into existence the kingdom of Spain. In A.D. 1492, Ferdinand conquered Granada, the last foothold of the Arabs in western Europe.
