That's amazing!.. I'm so pleased with the detail you've got here. I couldn't have done better myself. One of my favorite things about this splitting of Spain by a country offering religious freedom is that its so plausible with the Spanish Inquisition at its worst. As you said, it seems almost like it SHOULD have happened.

I'm also thinking that a union of the crowns will bring together spain and portugal most likely. It did happen, for a short time, OTL and it'd be a way that the Spanish would likely take to strengthen themselves from this kind of loss. On that note though, isn't it almost NOT a loss for the Spanish (Castillians)? What they lose in territory and population, don't they gain in stability? What's your opinion on that?

Oh, and since you've made the borders of Aragon, I'll need your help when I take on the mammoth task of a map of Europe. Just keep in mind, the Hapsburgs don't have Milan. The Duchy of Milan is completely independent.
