The Crown of Castile, as a historic entity, is usually considered to have begun with the final and definitive union of the two kingdoms of León and Castile in 1230, or in fact with the union of their parliament a few decades later. In 1230 Ferdinand III 'the Saint' was crowned King of Castile and Leon (which included the old kingdoms of Galicia and Asturias).
