Abstract

The queen's lands are one of the main mechanisms of her power, through which she connects her personal and political experience to the kingdom's territory. Queen contributes to transforming urban space through her management and stimulation developed in cultural or religious sphere. The analysis of her visits to these places and the investment of her financial resources in them will be one of the main objectives of this panel. Consequently, it will be possible to discuss about the level of interference of queens in their properties and their contribution to urban revitalization through the study of the English and Spanish case in the late Middle Ages.
