This union was composed of Portugal and Spain , after the Portuguese Dynastic Crisis and in a personal union of the crowns, along with their respective colonial possessions. To unite Spain (meaning the same as Iberia originally) was one of the ambitions of medieval monarchs of the Iberian peninsula. Sancho III Of Navarre and Alfonso VII Of Castile both took the title ''Imperator Totius Hispaniae'', meaning "Emperor of All Spain" centuries before. The union could have been achieved earlier had Miguel Da Paz , Prince Of Asturias , become king. He died early in his childhood. See also |
