|[[Sancho II of Castile and León|Sancho II]]

|the Strong
|27 December 1065
|6 October 1072
|Oldest son of [[Ferdinand I of León]], who ruled [[Kingdom of León|León]] and [[Kingdom of Castile|Castile]], and declared himself [[Imperator totius Hispaniae|Emperor of Spain]].

Ferdinand did not, however, pass both of his kingdoms on to Sancho but on his death gave instructions to divide the kingdoms among his sons, with Sancho receiving Castile, [[Alfonso VI of León and Castile|Alfonso]] receiving León, and Galicia elevated as a separate kingdom for [[García II of Galicia|Garcia]]. But it did not go well. In 1071, Garcia's kingdom of Galicia was attacked, conquered, and divided between his brothers, and in 1072,  Alfonso's kingdom of León was attacked and conquered by Sancho. Sancho did not enjoy his conquests long, however, as in that same year, Sancho was assassinated. He died without children.

|the Brave
the Valiant
|6 October 1072
|30 June 1109
|Son of Ferdinand I, brother of his predecessor Sancho II.

Ferdinand had ruled León and Castile, and on his death attempted to divide his kingdoms between his sons, with Sancho receiving Castile, Alfonso receiving León, and Garcia receiving a newly elevated kingdom of Galicia. Alfonso had first participated with Sancho in dividing Garcia's kingdom between them in 1071, only to lose his own to Sancho in 1072.

Happily for Alfonso, Sancho, who was still childless, was almost immediately assassinated, creating opportunities for his brothers to return and attempt to reclaim their father's kingdoms. As it happened, this only worked out for Alfonso, who captured and imprisoned Garcia, taking all three kingdoms under Alfonso's control. Alfonso also seems to have adopted the title Emperor of All Spain, sometimes used by his father.

|[[Urraca of León|Urraca]]
|[[File:Urraca_I,_reina_de_León_(Museo_del_Prado).jpg|100px]]
|the Reckless
|30 June 1109
|8 March 1126
|Daughter of Alfonso VI, and sister to [[Sancho Alfónsez]]. Urraca came to the throne on the death of her father, as her brother had died in 1108.

As Alfonso was king of León as well as Castile, he passed both kingdoms to Urraca. An attempt to create a dynastic unity  with neighboring Aragon by a marriage with its king, Alfonso I of Aragon, spectacularly failed. Not only was the marriage childless, Alfonso actively waged war on his wife until their divorce in 1114. Urraca did seem to sometimes use the title Empress of All Spain.
