Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
I highly rate this article. It is brief, substantive in content, and well written. The text is logical, and the arguments are convincing. Historical facts are well presented. Chosen illustrations correspond perfectly with the main text. Also, the bibliography is rich and helpful for the reader.

Reviewer 2 Report
We suggest to the author some proposals, in order to clarify some data for a reader who does not know the historiography of the Crown of Aragon.
line 18: Juan II of Aragon (1458-1479)
line 24: it is suggested to incorporate a sentence, at the beginning, explaining his marriage to Isabella of Castile. Then continue with “Together with his wife Isabel...”
line 54: it is suggested to add a sentence explaining the relationship of King Ferdinand with the literary work of Machiavelli's Prince.
line 61: it is suggested to incorporate a photograph with the joint heraldry of Kings Isabella and Ferdinand.
For example in an illuminated manuscript owned by both kings: The Morgan Library, MS M.1044, fols. 1v: https://www.themorgan.org/collection/livre-de-la-chasse/2
line 61: You may also consider adding one or two lines specifying the mottoes and symbolic images: yoke and arrows. It is also suggested to add a picture.
line 96-97: I propose the substitution of "Philip the Handsome" for Philip I of Castile.
line 99: Figure 1- I don't know if there is any difficulty with the photographs of the Ducat de Valencia, with F and Y crowned. They appear to be a little blurry. If they can't be seen well on screen I suggest you consider deleting them.
lines 319-320: note 20. Specify the volume of this publication: volume I.
