| Abstract | The natural environment is a determining factor for the trips undertaken by Queens and Infantas, but also a common rhetorical resource. This panel seeks to analyse textual and artistic references to the natural context in relation to the women of the royal houses. For this, disparate experiences will be combined, from the testimony given by the Alhambra in Granada and its connection with the sultanas to the vicissitudes of bridal journeys of Christian Queens in the transition to the Renaissance or the role played by the border between the kingdoms of Castile and Portugal in female displacements. |
