- Abstract
This paper focuses on Isabel of Aragon (1270-1336), the Aragonese infanta and queen consort of Portugal, and on her role in the political arena both within and outside the boundaries of her kingdom. Endowed with a hefty estate when she married King Dinis of Portugal in 1282, it was only after giving birth to the heir to the throne that the queen began to act more decisively in the national and international political scene, taking hold of real and effective power that she used consciously and independently of her husband. Years later, the civil war that was triggered by the clash between the king and the prince (supported by his mother), revealed queen Isabel's strong influence but also the limits of her political action.
