Despite the limited amount of personal information about Elionor, the large number of Sicilian, Catalan, and Aragonese chronicles as well as the massive amount of notarial evidence drawn from eastern Spanish archives has allowed Donald Kagay to trace Elionor's extremely active life roles as a wife and mother, a queen, a frustrated sovereign, a successful administrator, a supporter of royal war, a diplomat, a feudal lord, a fervent backer of several religious orders, and an energetic builder of royal sites. Drawing from the correspondence between the queen and her husband, official papers and communiques, and a vast array of notarial documents, the book casts light on the many phases of the queen's life. . 410 0$aThe New Middle Ages,$x2945-5944 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492 606 $aPhilosophy, Medieval 606 $aMedieval Literature 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 606 $aMedieval Philosophy 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Medieval. 615 14$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aMedieval Philosophy. 676 $a321.00922 676 $a946.5502092 700 $aKagay$b Donald J.$0223662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483550903321 996 $aElionor of Sicily, 1325-1375$94329074 997 $aUNINA
