ABSTRACT

This article contributes to the on-going research on the role of royal and noblewomen within medieval Europe through the experiences of the thirteenth-century German queen, Sanchia of Provence. Offering the first academic study of this long-neglected figure, it will demonstrate how, through her public persona, ceremonial responsibilities, and diplomatic activities, first as countess of Cornwall and then later as queen of the Romans, Sanchia established herself as an exemplar for contemporary ideals of royal womanhood. Contrasting her style with that adopted by her contemporaries, this article will also show how she favoured a more restrained and less political approach in fulfilling her role in the public sphere.

摘要

本文通过 13 世纪德国王后普罗旺斯的桑奇亚的经历，为正在进行的关于中世纪欧洲皇室和贵族女性角色的研究做出了贡献。对这个长期被忽视的人物进行首次学术研究，它将展示桑奇亚如何通过她的公众形象、礼仪职责和外交活动，首先作为康沃尔伯爵夫人，然后作为罗马女王，确立了自己作为王室女性的当代理想。将她的风格与她的同时代人所采用的风格进行对比，本文还将展示她如何在履行她在公共领域的角色时偏向于一种更加克制和更少政治化的方法。
