EDITORS COMMENTS
Berengaria of Castile (1180-1246), daughter of Sancho III, King of Castile and Duchess of Burgundy, is depicted in this stunning 13th-century colored engraving. Berengaria held significant political power during her reign as Queen Regnant of Castile from 1217, a rare achievement for a woman in the Middle Ages. Prior to her reign, she was the Queen Consort of León from 1197 to 1204, married to Alfonso IX. Berengaria is shown wearing a richly decorated robe, adorned with intricate patterns and layers of fabric, symbolizing her noble status. The queen's crown sits atop her head, bedecked with precious stones and gold, reflecting her royal lineage. The book in her hand represents her education and intellectual pursuits, a common attribute of medieval queens. The engraving, produced during the 12th or 13th century, is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Middle Ages in Spain. The image was likely created in Toledo, a center of learning and artistic production during this period. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the engraving, making it a captivating and intriguing representation of Berengaria of Castile, a remarkable woman who left her mark on Spanish history.
