Abstract
La praxis diplomática implica a perfiles muy diversos en las cortes medievales. El intercambio de mensajes, así como a quién se recurre para lograr determinados intereses políticos señala a los embajadores, pero también a otros oficiales al servicio del rey y, por supuesto, a las mujeres de la parentela regia. Este trabajo pretende ahondar en la participación femenina en la acción diplomática, tanto por su papel de mediadora como por su necesaria presencia en la celebración de encuentros diplomáticos, ya sea a nivel familiar, político o protocolario a partir del caso castellano en los últimos siglos de la Edad Media.
Diplomatic praxis in medieval courts encompasses a diverse range of profiles. The exchange of messages and the selection of individuals tasked with furthering specific political interests pertains not only to ambassadors but also to various officials in royal service and, importantly, to the women of the royal family. Their roles as mediators and their essential presence during diplomatic gatherings are crucial for understanding their specific relevance, whether due to familial, political, or protocol-related factors. This paper seeks to explore the participation of women in diplomatic activities, with a particular focus on the Castilian context in the late medieval period.
