User:The Emperor's New Spy/Sandbox/List of Consorts of Hispania
This is a list of the Consorts of Hispania, the wives of many man throughout history that either had a serious claim to and ruled all of Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula, including Spain and Portugal) or were claimant to such a title. Included are the Queens of All Hispania, also known as the Queen of the Visigoths (584-721), dating from the Visigothic conquest of the Suebic Kingdom of Galicia. Although the Visigoth conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, there remain small fractions of the Basque people that held out Pyrenees. After the Umayyad conquest of Hispania, the Muslim took over, ending the Visigothic monarchy. They were followed by the Hispanic Empresses whose husband claimed the title of Emperor of Hispania, only in name, though, and these claims ended in 1157.
Notice that before the emergence of the modern country of Spain (beginning with the union of Castile and Aragon in 1492), the Latin word Hispania, in any of the Iberian Romance languages, either in singular or plural forms (in English: Spain or Spains), was used to refer to the whole of the Iberian Peninsula, and not exclusively, as in modern usage, to the country of Spain, thus excluding Portugal.
