This biography of Queen Maria de Molina thematically explores her
life and demonstrates her collective exercise of power and
authority as queen. Throughout her public life, Maria de Molina's
resilient determination, as queen and later as regent, enabled her
to not only work tirelessly to establish an effective governing
partnership with her husband King Sancho IV, which never occurred,
but also to establish the legitimacy of her children and their
heirs and their right to rule. Such legitimacy enabled Queen Maria
de Molina's son and grandson, under her tutelage, to fend off other
monarchs and belligerent nobles. The author demonstrates the
queen's ability to govern the Kingdom of Castile-Leon as a partner
with her husband King Sancho IV, a partnership that can be
described as an official union. A major theme of this study is
Maria de Molina's role as dowager queen and regent as she continued
to exercise her queenly power and authority to protect the throne
of her son Fernando IV and, later, of her grandson Alfonso XI, and
to provide peace and stability for the Kingdom of Castile-Leon.
