How would the Aragonese language have fared in an independent Aragon in relation to Catalan? Would it have even been possible, given the nature of the union of the realms of the Aragonese Crown, for Catalan to have become the language of the administration*?
Also, given my knowledge of Iberia in the fourteenth century is not the best, was Catalan already the language of the elite in the realms of the Crown of Aragon by the time of the Catholic Kings and what was the status of Aragonese at that time?
*The King's Chancery still used both Aragonese and Catalan equally up until the Neuva Planta decrees
