He belonged to the Trastamara dinasty, and was the son of King Juan II and his second wife Juana Enriquez. But for him it wasn't such as easy to inhert the crown and this is the story by which Ferdinand obtain the reing: At the beginning of the 15th century, Queen Blanca of Navarra married King Juan II of Aragon which was the on of Ferdinand I) and they had a son called Charles of Viana which succeded his mother when she died. And some years later in 1447 he remarried with Juana Enriquez which brough him another son called Ferdinand (later called Ferdinand the II of Aragon).

 * // María López Vatican City - Crown of Castile and Aragon //

That's how our king was defined by Pope Leo X this morning in the Vatican City, grateful for the defense and support of the Aragonese monarch that is now governing us to the Church and the papacy during his reign. This recognition, however, has gone further and Leo X has said to his best painter to do a portrait of Ferdinand in the Vatican city, as one of the pilars of Christianity.
