Al contrario de lo que sucedió en los otros reinos peninsulares, donde se cono- cen numerosos ejemplos de ejercicio de la autoridad real por mujeres, en Portugal las dos únicas experiencias de regencia femeni- na que ocurrieron en la Edad Media fueron interrumpidas por movimientos revolucio- narios que entregaron el gobierno a varones de sangre real. En este trabajo, se analizan los argumentos utilizados para retirar el po- der a las reinas madres para saber si era su género lo que las descalificaba o si se tenían en cuenta otros motivos más poderosos. ; Quite unlike the situation in other Iberian kingdoms, where several cases of royal authority held by women are known, in Portugal the only two female regencies in the medieval period were abruptly put to an end by revolutionary movements that handed the government over to males of royal blood. This article will analyze the arguments used to remove the queen-mothers from power to understand if it was their gender that disqualified them or if other, stronger, reasons were taken into account. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

UIDB/00749/2020 UIDP/00749/2020 ; En este artículo se analiza la reforma del franciscanismo portugués a finales de la Edad Media. Se trata de una reforma plural, realizada en un contexto de intensa renovación religiosa y espiritual, en el que emergen nuevas órdenes religiosas y los laicos participan intensamente creando nuevas formas de «pobre vida». Entre los Franciscanos masculinos, la Observancia surgió en la última década del siglo XIV en el norte de Portugal, traída por frailes gallegos y castellanos. El apoyo de la monarquía y de la nobleza cortesana dictó su rápida expansión a todo el reino, a través la reforma de conventos antiguos y la creación de nuevos. Entre las Clarisas, la reforma fue más tardía —solo se concretó a fines del siglo XV— y asumió dos formas: la entrega de la tutela de sus comunidades a los Observantes y la creación de nuevos monasterios sometidos a la primera regla de santa Clara y a las Constituciones coletinas. Todavía, en 1517, cuando el Papa separó los Franciscanos portugueses en dos ramas y entregó el gobierno de la orden a los Observantes, había ya llegado a tierras portuguesas un modelo aún más radical en su austeridad, el de la «estrechísima observancia», que experimentará una gran expansión en las siguientes décadas. This article analyzes the reform of Portuguese Franciscanism in the Late Middle Ages. It is a plural reform, carried out in a context of intense religious and spiritual renewal, in which new religious orders emerged and the laity participated intensely creating new forms of «poor life». Among the male Franciscans, the Observance arose in the last decade of the 14th century in northern Portugal, brought by Galician and Castilian friars. The support of the monarchy and of the courtly nobility dictated its rapid expansion to the entire kingdom, through the reform of old convents and the creation of new ones. Among the Poor Clares the reform was belated —it only took place at the end of the 15th century— and took two forms: the entrustment of the guardianship of their communities to the Observants and the creation of new monasteries subject to the first Rule of Saint Clare and to the Colettine Constitutions. Yet in 1517 when the Pope separated the Portuguese Franciscans into two branches and handed over the government of the order to the Observants, an even more radical model in its austerity had already arrived to the Portuguese territory, that of the «very strict observance» which will experience a great expansion in the following decades. ; publishersversion ; published

This book places identity at the centre of a project to better understand medieval society. By exploring the multiplicity of personal identities, the ways in which these were expressed within particular social structures (such as feudalism), and their evolution into formal expressions of collective identity (municipalities, guilds, nations, and so on) we can shed new light on the Middle Ages. A specific legacy of such developments was that by the end of the Middle Ages, a sense of national identity, supported by the late medieval socio-economic structure, backed in law and by theological, philosophical, and political thought, defined society. What is more, social structures coalesced across diverse elements, including language, group solidarities, and a set of assumed values
