Both kingdoms united when Isabella I married Ferdinand II of Aragon. Both crowns descended to their daughter Joanna of Castile. The Spanish Empire for a couple decades was united with the Hapsburg Empire. Today the king of Spain is Felipe VI. Felipe holds the main title as "King of Spain" but not as Holy Roman Emperor nor King of Gibraltar.
