Sex, Gender, and Illegitimacy in the Castilian Noble Family, 1400-1600

E. Coolidge Grace

Description

“Coolidge has done remarkable research and clearly laid out a really useful and important issue in early modern studies. This book reframes the way we understand noble families, noble women, gender expectations, lineage, and the often contradictory demands of the early Spanish nobility.” —Allyson M. Poska, author of Gendered Crossings: Women and Migration in the Spanish Empire “Coolidge proves how common extramatrimonial relationships were among the Castilian nobility and how illegitimate children played crucial dynastic, political, and social roles. She makes an important contribution to several fields: medieval and early modern Spanish history and literature, European history, and the study of gender, sexuality, and family.” —Núria Silleras-Fernández, author of Chariots of Ladies: Francesc Eiximenis and the Court Culture of Medieval and Early Modern Iberia Women and Gender in the Early Modern World Series Editors Allyson Poska Abby Zanger Sex, Gender, and Illegitimacy in the Castilian Noble Family, 1400–1600 Grace E.
