From 951 he governed Castile independently from León

The Kingdom of León and the Kingdom of Castile kept different Parliaments, different flags, different coin and different laws until the Modern Era.
The Castilian king had great power, and Castilian Cortes could not legislate, their function was to regulate new taxes.
