Leon and Castile united under Ferdinand III
1230
On the death of his father Alfonso IX of Leon, Ferdinand III already king of Castile permanently joined the two Christian kingdoms. With a unified Iberian war machine behind him he would shortly take Cordoba and Seville from the fragmenting taifa states. The union created the largest Christian kingdom in the peninsula and the military force that would reduce Muslim Spain to the rump emirate of Granada.
