Description
This volume provides a series of new perspectives on the political, military, and religious history of the reign of Fernando III, king of Castile-Leon, from 1217-1252. The essays collected here address the conquest of al-Andalus and the policies of Fernando III, Christian-Muslim relations in the Peninsula, the creation and curation of royal networks of power, the role of women at the Castilian court, and the impact of religious change in Castile-Leon. Assembling an international group of eleven leading scholars on this period of Iberian history, this volume combines military and religious history with a variety of novel approaches and methodologies to ask new and exciting questions about the reign of Fernando III and his place in medieval European history.
Contributors are Martin Alvira, Carlos de Ayala Martinez, Janna Bianchini, Barbara Boloix-Gallardo, Cristina Catalina, Francisco Garcia Fitz, Francisco Garcia-Serrano, Edward L. Holt, Kyle C. Lincoln, Miriam Shadis, and Teresa Witcombe.
