Abstract

The analysis of the representations and social speeches allow us to understand how gender relations produce hierarchical spaces of identity and difference in each historical time. Historiography has shown that in the Middle Ages spirituality was the preferred acting space for noble women and queens. In this article, we will analyze the activities developed by different privileged women in the Camino de Santiago, from pilgrimage experiences to the founding of religious buildings in the Jacobean route. Through iconographic and textual records, we will address the cultural production of royalty and high nobility women as a form of expression (or questioning) of values, roles and behaviour models prevailing in the Crown of Castile.
