On 1460, Charles the Duke of Viana would accept that he would rule Naples and Sicily in the place of his father as the King of Navarre who will be the King of Navarre till the time he dies and Marries Magdalena of France, who would bear a son named John on May 2, 1463, a daughter named Blanche on August 2, 1464 and another son named Charles on March 2, 1469, Charles, Duke of Viana would set his eyes on Juana(January 4, 1462), the only daughter of Henry IV to marry his only son John so that Aragon, Castile and Navarre would unite, after the marriage of Joanna, Charles VII dies a few months after the marriage of Magdalena of Valois and Louis XI starts his own reign.
Charles the Duke of Viana's nephew, Gaston of Foix would marry Catherine of Portugal, the earlier bride of Charles of Viana in order to secure an alliance between Portugal and Navarre, the marriage between Catherine and Gaston of Bearn would mean that the alliance between Portugal and Navarre would prosper, the duke of Viana would pick Magdalena of Valois so that he could pick a more fertile woman that he could marry, Gaston of Bearn would bear two children from Catherine of Portugal, Francis(December 4, 1462) and Catherine(1464).
Meanwhile Isabella of Bourbon, the wife of Charles the Bold, the duke of Burgundy would be pregnant and give birth to a daughter named Beatrice on December 2, 1461, as another daughter of the Burgundian duke, the birth of another daughter to Isabella of Bourbon would mean another chance to gain an alliance with another power, Beatrice is betrothed to the son of the King of Poland, Vladislaus to secure the inheritance of Burgundy.
The Duchess of Burgundy, Isabella would die on 1465, prompting Charles the Bold to remarry to Zoe Palaiogina, an heiress of the Byzantine Empire due to the suggestion of his own father in order for them to conquer the lands of the Greeks back from the Ottomans, Zoe would give birth to a daughter named Sophie on December of 1467, something that would disappoint Charles the Bold because that would mean that the Burgundian inheritance would fall to France once he dies if he marries his daughter to the Dauphin and because of that he would try and try again to conceive for a son which would not happen as Sophia would only have another daughter named Eleonore on May of 1471, he is forced to confirm the betrothal between his daughter Mary of Burgundy and Dauphin Louis on 1471.
On 1466, Alfonso, the brother of Henry IV would be defeated by Henry IV on his rebellion and forced to take vows on a monastery, wherein he dies a year after and his sister, Isabella married to Edward IV of England.
Francis II, duke of Brittany would lose his first wife, Margaret of Brittany who had provided him with a heir, John of Montfort (June 29, 1463) on 1469 and quickly married to Margaret of Foix in the same year, Francis would betroth his son John to Anne of France, Margaret would provide him two daughters, Anne b. 1477 and Isabelle b. 1478.
On 1466, with Isabella losing her chance in marriage with Infante Ferdinand to marry to gain the Castillan crown and usurp it from Joanna, she would not marry Ferdinand due to him not being heir to the Castillan crown but Charles IV of Naples, who would become the King and the fact that she is married to Edward IV, Joanna, his second wife was sent to a monastery and he would remarry to Margaret of York who would give him another daughter named Margaret on May 2, 1470.
On 1474, Henry IV of Castile dies and Joanna is confirmed as heiress by her stepmother Margaret of York.
On 1475, Charles III of Naples married Joanna I of Castile to his son John after the death of Henry IV with the dispensation from Pope Sixtus IV which he had obtained earlier in 1474, the two are recognized as monarchs.
On 1476, Charles would marry Beatrice of Burgundy to Vladislaus II of Hungary with the dowry of Luxembourg, while Charles would delay the marriage of the Dauphin with Mary and tried to betroth Mary to Infante Ferdinand of Aragon and earlier with Nicholas, however the marriage of Nicholas to Mary did not happen due to the war between Charles and Nicholas and for Ferdinand due to Charles dying the following year.
On 1477, Charles the rash of Burgundy would die battling Nicholas, duke of Anjou and Lorraine on January 1477 who once had been considered as another match for his daughter Mary, Mary the Duchess of Burgundy married Louis the Dauphin who had been betrothed to her, Louise of France is married to the Duke of Bourbon and the Duke of Brittany cancels the betrothal of his son John of Brittany to Anne and marries his son to Catherine of Foix who is a relative of his second wife and obtained the dispensation from Sixtus IV.
On 1479, Charles IV of Naples would inherit both Aragon and Navarre from his father, John II which would mean Charles IV is crowned as King of Aragon, Navarre, Naples and Sicily afterward.
As Charles the Bold died unexpectedly on January 1477 during the battle with Nicholas, duke of Lorraine, his daughter Mary of Burgundy became at age nineteen Duchess of Burgundy. At that time, her marriage to Louis the Dauphin had not yet been solemnized, so she stood alone for the heavy task of defending the succession states against the various rulers of neighbouring countries. Mary's position was weak. Louis XI of France had taken Burgundy and Franche Comté and had also invaded Artois and Picardy following the death of Mary's father Charles the Bold. Among her own citizens there was great discontent, which did not make Mary's situation any easier. The Duchy of Guelders and the principality of Liège had already declared independence. On 3 February 1477 an urgent meeting of the States General was therefore convened. It appeared that the States were prepared to recognise and support Mary of Burgundy as their sovereign with financial resources, but only with the granting of various concessions.
The Great Privilege granted by Mary met a large part of the demands and complaints of the States. These came down to dissatisfaction with the centralised administration of the Burgundian Netherlands. The power of the central government had to be curtailed by a series of provisions while the power of the individual provinces had to be increased. After the enactment of the Grand Privilege the authority of Mary seemed restored. It appeared that during her trip through all the States of the Netherlands that each principality itself still had considerable needs. These individual needs were also met by Mary and became known as the land privileges.
Mary's marriage with the Dauphin met the opposition of the other states like England which did not like France having the control of Rhine and that included the Holy Roman Emperor which are against the marriage.
The Emperor, Frederick III negotiated a partition of the Inheritance where in more of the inheritance will go to Beatrice of Burgundy aside from Luxembourg to prevent the Rhine from being controlled by France but the estates seem to like the French instead, so the inheritance treaty is not made and majority of the Burgundian inheritance is integrated to France.
The marriage with Mary, Duchess of Burgundy and Louis XII, all in all would give birth to several children;
Joanna I of Castile Verse 4
On 1475, Charles III of Naples married Joanna I of Castile to his son John after the death of Henry IV with the dispensation from Pope Sixtus IV which he had obtained earlier in 1474, the two are recognized as monarchs, Isabella would discover that this marriage would be one of the devices of Henry IV to deny her the throne of Castile and secure her niece to the crown of Castile, however, Isabella would goad her husband, Louis XI to occupy Rousillon and Cerdagne on 1476 which caused more conflict.
In Aragon, the marriage between Joanna I of Castile and the heir to Navarre, John would be consummated although the two initially did not like each other, although the two would later fall in love with each other on 1479.
Joanna I of Castile's marriage after the death of her father Henry IV of Castile would unite the three countries of Navarre, Aragon and Castile due to John being heir to Navarre and Aragon which would also mean that both the Countries of Navarre and Aragon would be subsumed to Castile and that the majority of the people of the united countries would speak Castillan due to the similarities of Aragonese and Castillan.
The Iberian origin of the husband of Joanna I met a little opposition from the Castillian Court and the Corts of Aragon would welcome the marriage between Joanna I of Castile and John, Prince of Girona and did not mind what would be its consequences on the two countries, however the marriage would mean that Castile would be also involved in Sicily after the reign of Charles I of Aragon.
On 1480, Joanna would sign privileges for the nobles of Castile which would be followed by the Aragonese and her husband, John would inherit Aragon on 1482 as John III, three years after his father inherited the Kingdom of Aragon and gained the Kingdom of Navarre which was rightfully his usurped and occupied by his own father.
Joanna I of Castile and John III of Aragon would deal with the French due to their occupation of Cerdagne, Roussillon and the French fiefs owned by their family from France, however on 1482, a treaty was signed between France and Spain which stipulated a marriage between Joanna of Castile and Philippe, the Dauphin of France while her other daughter Eleanor would be married to Alfonso, Prince of Portugal, son of John II of Portugal, the dowry of Joanna included John III's claim to the throne of France.
Joanna I of Castile and John III of Aragon all in all have these children;
On 1466, Alfonso, the brother of Henry IV would be defeated by Henry IV on his rebellion and forced to take vows on a monastery, wherein he dies a year after and his sister, Isabella married to Edward IV of England.
On 1466, with Isabella losing her chance in marriage with Infante Ferdinand to marry to gain the Castillan crown and usurp it from Joanna, she would not marry Ferdinand due to him not being heir to the Castillan crown but Charles IV of Naples, who would become the King and the fact that she is married to Edward IV of England.
Edward and Isabella were equal in dignity in their own Kingdoms and wanted the best for their Kingdom and liked by their people, the two became fond of each other and had lots of children as well.
The Children of Edward IV and Isabella of Castille all in all are;
Mary of York May 4, 1467

Anne of York May 4 1475
Joanna of York August 18 1479
Bridget of York November 10 1483
George Plantagenet, duke of Bedford May 4, 1484
Isabella of Castille and Edward IV's marriage would mean that the Yorkists would equally have Lancastrian blood breaking the Lancastrian faction completely causing Edward of Westminster to retreat to England, Edward of Westminster would marry Anne of France in 1474, ending her betrothal with the duke of Brittany.
Isabella of Castile's marriage with Edward IV ended the possibility of civil war in Castile later on and secured the succession of Joanna I of Castile.
On 1476, Charles of Burgundy would marry Beatrice of Burgundy to Vladislaus II of Hungary with the dowry of Luxembourg, while Charles would delay the marriage of the Dauphin with Mary and tried to betroth Mary to Infante Ferdinand of Aragon and earlier with Nicholas, however the marriage of Nicholas to Mary did not happen due to the war between Charles and Nicholas and for Ferdinand due to Charles dying the following year.
The Emperor, Frederick III negotiated a partition of the Inheritance where in more of the inheritance will go to Beatrice of Burgundy aside from Luxembourg to prevent the Rhine from being controlled by France but the estates seem to like the French instead, so the inheritance treaty is not made and majority of the Burgundian inheritance is integrated to France.
On 1475, the son of Emperor Frederick III, Maximilian marries Beatrice of Naples and Kunigunde of Bavaria is married to Albert IV of Bavaria and made a will that Austria will pass to Bavaria if Maximilian has no heirs.
Beatrice of Burgundy, Countess of Luxembourg and Vladislaus II of Hungary would maintain good relations with the Duchess of Burgundy, Mary, Beatrice would help Vladislaus II maintain his rule in Hungary and Bohemia and a good negotiator.
All in all, Beatrice of Burgundy and Vladislaus have these children;
Joanna of Castile and John III of Aragon integrated Naples and Sicily to Aragon due to the inheriting it angering the King of France and for that Joanna of Castile had Eleanor of Aragon, their eldest daughter married to John, the Prince of Portugal and arranged a double marriage between Joanna of Aragon to Dauphin Philip and Margaret of France would marry John of Castile, although their betrothal would not result to a marriage due to his later death in 1492.
Eleanor is said to be a beautiful bride and the French would want the dauphin to marry her but the Kings of Aragon and Castile would refuse such an offer for marriage and had Joanna to be the one betrothed to the future King of France but Joanna flatly refused and made her namesake Joanna to be betrothed to the future King France Joanna I of Castile and John III of Aragon would endow their daughter their possessions in France and their claims to French throne and Burgundy as a young child, Joanna would at a young age think about her heritage and destiny to be the Queen of France to be a huge priority to her due to her upbringing.
The Portuguese have access to lands unknown by Europe at this point in time and the East which interested Eleanor and wanted to go to Portugal herself and aside from that the King of Aragon and Castile and the King of Portugal really liked the marriage match between Eleanor and John, the Prince of Portugal.
