“Pela Graça de Deus Rainha de Portugal” : funções e práticas da reginalidade no Portugal medieval

Abstract

O lugar de rainha consorte corresponde ao topo da hierarquia social medieval no feminino. Assim, a primeira mulher do reino é, pela sua própria natureza, a esposa do rei. Partindo das abordagens conceptuais mais recentes, reconstitui-se o modelo de atuação da rainha consorte no Portugal medieval, complementando a visão teórica e a construção de modelos de exemplaridade, com a análise da prática efetiva da reginalidade. A mãe do herdeiro, cuidadora e piedosa dos modelos teóricos articula-se assim com a “parceira do rei” que participa ativamente na esfera política. O lugar cimeiro na escala social implica a representação dessa mesma posição frente ao outro, expressa em lugares e objetos. Inerente a essa posição, a casa da rainha faz visível e distribui a identidade da consorte régia. Exploram-se, através desta e de outros mecanismos – como o do mecenato artístico e religioso – as avenidas pelas quais a identidade da consorte régia é definida e depois expressa, em articulação ou confronto com as ações do monarca seu esposo. Assim, integrada nas estruturas da monarquia e na sua representação, a rainha é uma parte importante da respetiva engrenagem, tendo um conjunto de atribuições inerentes à sua posição, que lhe permitem participar ativamente na política do reino e na sociedade. Na sua falta, o vazio implica o preenchimento desse lugar por outra mulher próxima do soberano, de preferência uma filha.

The queen is the higher-ranking lady in the social hierarchy of a medieval kingdom. The kingdom’s first woman is, by her nature, the king’s wife. Taking the most recent conceptual approaches as a starting point, we reconstitute the queen consort’s modes of action in late medieval Portugal, complementing the theoretical and exemplary view with an analysis of the queens’ actions. The theoretical mother of the heir, caring and pious is, by those means, articulated with the “king’s partner”, an active participant in the political sphere. The first position in the social scale implies the representation of that same position in the face of others, through objects and places. Part of that positioning and its statement, the queen consort’s household makes visible and distributes the identity of the queen herself. Through the household and other mechanisms – like religious and artistic sponsorship – we explore the avenues that allow the definition and publicization of the queen consort’s identity, articulated or in confrontation with the actions of the king. Integrated into the monarchy’s structures and representation, the queen is an important piece of its engine, having at her disposal a set of attributes that allow her to participate actively in the kingdom’s politics and society. In her absence, her role needs to be fulfilled by another woman close to the king, preferably, a daughter.
