Royal Grief in Medieval Iberia with Nuria Silleras-Fernandez

from The Medieval Podcast · host Danièle Cybulskie

For three medieval Iberian queens, grief - and the way they expressed it - had immense and far-reaching consequences. This week, Danièle speaks with Núria Silleras-Fernández about what grief and widowhood were "supposed" to look like, how grief and madness were thought to be intertwined with love, and how the grieving women in the famous Isabella the Catholic’s family shaped the history of Spain and Portugal.Listen to this podcast ad-free on Patreon - go to https://www.patreon.com/medievalistsThis podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!
