I don't know if it's appropriate to include in the article, but you can change stance with Castilian Villages to enemy without consequence and convert their villagers once Juan recruits a Monk or Missionary, allowing you to build right off the bat although with zero resources and a greatly exceeded pop cap it's slow going until you get the Cardinal or Duke bounties. You can then transport villagers to southeast of the Isabelistas and establish a very well fortified beachhead with no resistance, and even build walls and towers within the Isabelist city, slowing them down considerably once you finish off the Aragonese.

Also, I think it's worth noting that Yellow Aragonese have Heresy so you cannot convert their villagers. I don't remember if any others do.
