2020 Collaborative Project Award by the Society for the Study of
Early Modern Women and Gender Women and Community in Medieval and
Early Modern Iberia draws on recent research to underscore the
various ways Iberian women influenced and contributed to their
communities, engaging with a broader academic discussion of women's
agency and cultural impact in the Iberian Peninsula. By focusing on
women from across the socioeconomic and religious spectrum-elite,
bourgeois, and peasant Christian women, Jewish, Muslim, converso,
and Morisco women, and married, widowed, and single women-this
volume highlights the diversity of women's experiences, examining
women's social, economic, political, and religious ties to their
families and communities in both urban and rural environments.
Comprised of twelve essays from both established and new scholars,
Women and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia showcases
groundbreaking work on premodern women, revealing the complex
intersections between gender and community while highlighting not
only relationships of support and inclusion but also the tensions
that worked to marginalize and exclude women.
Two hundred years after canon law prohibited clerical marriage,
parish priests in the late medieval period continued to form unions
with women that were marriage all but in name. In Defiant Priests,
Michelle Armstrong-Partida uses evidence from extraordinary
archives in four Catalan dioceses to show that maintaining a family
with a domestic partner was not only a custom entrenched in Catalan
clerical culture but also an essential component of priestly
masculine identity. From unpublished episcopal visitation records
and internal diocesan documents (including notarial registers,
bishops' letters, dispensations for illegitimate birth, and
episcopal court records), Armstrong-Partida reconstructs the
personal lives and careers of Catalan parish priests to better
understand the professional identity and masculinity of churchmen
who made up the proletariat of the largest institution across
Europe. These untapped sources reveal the extent to which parish
clergy were embedded in their communities, particularly their
kinship ties to villagers and their often contentious interactions
with male parishioners and clerical colleagues. Defiant Priests
highlights a clerical culture that embraced violence to resolve
disputes and seek revenge, to intimidate other men, and to maintain
their status and authority in the community.
