Constant rivalry between the two kingdoms opened rifts that could be exploited by outsiders, and Sancho the Great of Navarre (1004-35) absorbed Castile in the 1020s, and added León in the last year of his life, leaving Galicia to temporary independence. In the division of lands which followed his death, his son Fernando succeeded to the county of Castile. Two years later, in 1037, he conquered León and Galicia. For nearly thirty years, until his death in 1065, he ruled over a combined kingdom of León-Castile as Ferdinand I of Castile, El Magno or the Great, (d. 1065), son of Sancho III of Navarre, was put in possession of Castile in 1028 with his fathers backing, on the murder of the last Count, as the heir of his mother Elvira, daughter of a previous count of...

Thus, though scarcely influenced by the culture of the successor territories of the former Caliphate, Ferdinand I followed the example of the counts of Barcelona and the kings of Aragon, and became hugely wealthy from its gold coinage. When he died in 1065, his territories and the parias were split among his three sons, of whom Garcia emerged the victor, in the classic fratricidal strife common to feudal successions.
