Not gonna lie, when I first saw this I read it as "All Modern-Day Countries Ever Controlled by Aragorn" and thought it was going to be some sort of Gondor map quiz :') Great quiz!
Concerning vassals of Aragón, you could add a couple more territories: the League of Lezhe (in modern Albania) as Skanderberg vassalize it by the treaty of Gaeta (1451) and the Despotate of Epirus (with the County of Cephalonia and Zakynthos) per the confirmation grant that Leonardo III Tocco received from Alfonso V (1452).
Also, the Pope gave the island of Kastellorizo, off the coast of modern Turkey, to Aragón in 1451 that retained it until 1512 to the Ottomans.
