AH Challenge: Navarre takes control of Spain

I challenge the people after me to come up with a way for the Kingdom of Navarre to be the ones to control Spain.

Well, the easiest way would be to toy with the lines of succession and have Navarre inherit their way to the throne; unfortunately in that case Navarre is probably going to be quickly swallowed up by the larger and more prestigious realm.

I agree. In OTL, one could argue that Navarre took control of France, but for all intensive purpuses, was swallowed up by the larger realm.
 
I think I actually figured out a starting point, Sancho III had control over both Leon and Castile but when he died he split up his kingdom among his heirs. Maybe you can have him keep the power with one of his heirs.

This one is really easy, just have Sancho III do not divide his realm and his heirs to keep the title of "rex Dei gratia Hispaniarum".
