Ooh very interesting, glad Isabella ended up a bit happier here and that native born Spaniards will rule Spain..

She really did. Everyone is happier here. Except Infante Ferdinand.

 

[Dragonboy]

That would be nice.

Very nice indeed.

Which will bode unwell for the trastamaras.

Excellent chapter, RIP Isabe had a much better ending than OTL. Regarding Fernando, perhaps he could be interested in the new world and persuade Juan to allow the Aragonese to participate in his colonization resulting in some more external regions of the empire being for a time more common to hear Aragonese or Neapolitan than Castilian.

Well, given that Ferdinand the Elder dies due to the conflict that Ferdinand the younger starts against King Juan and Prince Juan, it's gonna be pretty bad.

Thank you! Was Ferdinand the Catholic interested in colonisation otl? Wasn't that more Isabel's thing? But, yes the Aragonese are gonna be more involved in things. And Ferdinand can turn his attention towards Sicily and Sardinia more now. Perhaps sending Ferdinand the younger to the Italian islands as Governor?

Yep, and Ferdinand the younger will let it all go to his head and decide he wants both islands to himself.

Now the question is, does Ferdinand die in the conflict along with his uncle or will Juan order his son's execution?
That might be a interesting scenario. Make a impression of Charles of Anjou?

I reallt hope is the former. No need to stain Juan with such an order.

Hmmmm. We shall see how this story developes.

Indeed we shall.

I'm just saying that as king, Juan is ultimately responsible for administrating justice in the kingdoms.

Fair enough.

 

[BlueFlowwer]

Fair enough.

I'm not saying that it will be fun for him to do it.

Of course not! Our boy is great ruler but he sure as hell is not joao II.

Nope. But he and Alfonso VI are gonna get along rather well.

Very happy they will, Spain and Portugal must stand together.

Iberians kingdoms unite! I shall write a chapter about Portugal soon. Isabella's children are gonna have interesting lives and marriages.

Great, the Aviz dynasty is one of my all time favorites, one takes a look at joao I (Portugal's greatest king) and how can one ever say that royal bastards can't achieve greatness?
