Studies on queenship have consolidated over the past few decades as a fruitful field of research that is integrative and multidisciplinary, becoming increasingly relevant for a comprehensive understanding, not only of women's history but also of the history of political societies in all their currents and variants. This approach has renewed our understanding of women as active subjects in the constellations of relationships and agencies within monarchical and dynastic systems over time. Today, we can assert that without considering these aspects, it is challenging to fully comprehend such political systems.
The monograph presented here engages with these themes and serves as a continuation of the one published in this same journal in 2023. Both are the result of a productive collaborative initiative established by the coordinated research project "Women in the Iberian Monarchies: Institutional Paradigms, Political Agencies, and Cultural Models (13th-15th Centuries)," which focuses on the Iberian Peninsula. Among its objectives is the need to establish transnational comparisons regarding the phenomenon of queenship and its implications for the configuration of power structures. This project seeks not only to document the participation of women in the monarchical systems of the time but also to analyse how their roles and representations have influenced the construction of political and cultural identities.
