Resumen de Mujeres peninsulares entre Portugal y España

María Isabel Barbeito Carneiro

• This work is a short reflection on marriages of Portuguese and Spanish women, particularly the arranged marriages of princesses to serve interests of both dynastic crowns. Women with different status and positions escorted the brides, and, independently of the good or bad experiences they had, not all of them returned to their places of origin or even to their country. They all contributed, however, to the historical definition of both Iberian countries.
