    that's not exactly true. Not sure about catalunya but the Iberian Peninsula was composed of sovereign states kingdoms (Leon, Navarra, Aragon, Asturies (included part of Galiza), Portugal, Castilla (then Castilla-León), etc. The thing is they were merged by marriages. Even Portugal became part of Spain during 40 years because Philip II inherited the throne.
