The dower charter of Leonor Plantagenet granted by her husband Alfonso VIII of Castile in 1170 is one of the most interesting yet least studied documents in that period in regards to the analysis of queenship and the exercise of power by royal females. This document not only lists nuptial property and rights given under the same conditions, but a more contextualized analysis aided by some legal texts of the time brings out a very significant distinction between what the king granted with full rights and that could be identified as sponsalicia largitas, and property granted with limited rights as a donatio propter nupcias. The first type of property empowered the queen consort with economic autonomy, while the second authorized her before the political community of the kingdom. ; La carta de arras de Leonor Plantagenet otorgada por su esposo Alfonso VIII de Castilla en 1170 constituye uno de los documentos más interesantes y menos estudiados del periodo en cuanto al análisis de la reginalidad y el ejercicio del poder femenino en la realeza. Este documento no solo enumera las propiedades y derechos nupciales concedidos bajo las mismas condiciones, sino que una lectura más contextualizada y apoyada por los textos legales de la época permite hacer una significativa distinción entre lo que el rey castellano entregaba con plena disposición o lo que podría identificarse como la sponsalicia largitas, y aquella propiedad que concedía con derechos limitados o donatio propter nupcias. El primer tipo de propiedad confería a la consorte una autonomía económica, mientras que el segundo la autorizaba ante la comunidad política del reino.

This article argues that the stark post‐Second World War understanding in which 'straight is to gay' came to be seen as 'family is to non family' has tended to obscure the historical complexity of family life and the ways in which queer men have interacted with and created their families in the past, and used the language of family to conceptualise emotional bonds 'beyond blood'. Using the well‐heeled early campaigner for homosexual law reform, George Ives (1867–1950), as a case study, I show how different rhetorics, ideas and experiences of family allowed for the assertion of gender and sexual identity, gave a framework for campaigning work and provided a means of conceptualising intimacy and companionship. Though family was the cause of considerable angst for Ives, it was, I suggest, something he valued not in spite of his homosexuality but at least partly because of it. It was fundamental to the ways in which he understood and articulated who he was, and how he related to others.
