Who was the first king of Spain?

Like all the countries we know today, the history of the rulers is complicated once you pass through the mists of time! Europe in the distant past (and not so distant) was generally made up of many smaller areas with different names, ruled by warring rulers. According to Wikipedia, there "are four alternative moments (and three different persons) where the Kingship of Spain is variously considered to have begun":

Just like France, Britain, Austria (Hungary) etc, they had some very colourful monarchs like Ferdinand and Isabella, Juana the Mad, and Philip II, His Most Catholic Majesty...

The first kings of Spain where Fernando and Isabel as Spain was created when muslims were kicked out. There were kings before but they were kings of areas forming Spain not all of it. For instance Fernando was king of Aragón (East of Spain) and Isabel was the queen of Castilla (Centre and West of Spain), when they got married and reconquered the south, Spain was created as it is now.

Since there is so many Spainish kings it is hard to determine the first king that was recognized around Spain

the first king of a unified "castile and leon" would have been alonzo after he perhaps had seen to the killing of his brother sancho!!!but the "espana" free of moorish dominated provinces would be "king ferdinand and queen isabella"..who patronized columbus in his search for the route to the wealth of asia by sailing west to cathay!!!funny how that worked out!!!
