Crown of Castile

Okay, so a long, long time ago, there was a big group of people who lived in a place called Spain. They all had different ways of living and different leaders, but eventually, one person became the leader of almost all of them. This person was called a king, and he was in charge of a big group of people called the Crown of Castile.

The Crown of Castile was made up of lots of smaller places with their own names, like Castile, Leon, and Galicia. But the king was in charge of all of them and could make decisions for everyone.

Sometimes, the king had to fight with other people to keep the Crown of Castile safe and strong. And sometimes, people in the Crown of Castile didn't agree with the king's decisions and wanted to do things their own way.

But overall, the Crown of Castile was a big group of people who all lived together and had one leader.
