Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure of the timeframe for the name on the map but the reason for the change was due to a conversation with cartographer PysmonStark, which I think I interpreted his feedback right.

Historically "Extremadura" corresponds mostly to the region of "Castilla", or Castille. The northern region, is a bit tougher, because of nationalism and controversy, but when the regions of Castille and Andalus existed, some of that piece of land was Castille as well, and the majority was "Aragón" or Aragon in English. We're talking about Middle Ages. But there is too much stuff in that territory to choose a proper name, especially with the current Catalonia situation here. Valencia and Andalus can be ok. Well to be fair, Andalusia is the current region, and Al-Andalus was the medieval islamic region, which decreased in size over the centuries up to 1492. Andalus per se doesn't really exist.
Also in Portugal, "Norte" means just North. Maybe you should use a less generic name, like Beira or Porto, which are regions included in the territory as well.
