Abstract

A knowledge of the foundation of convents and monasteries and the policies surrounding these spaces of spirituality proves an interesting stepping-stone towards a better knowledge of both the concept and practice of queenship. The work of Catherine of Lancaster is analyzed in this light, and the differences between her periods as queen consort and queen regent are revealed. An insight is provided into the queen as a ‘female politician’, rooted in the notion of a ‘female policy’, and into her action fronts in this area, which were more than merely symbolic or propagandistic.
