ABSTRACT Sources for the reign of Urraca of León-Castile (1109–26) include several chronicles written during and just after her lifetime, as well as three major chronicles from the thirteenth century. These latter three – the work of Lucas of Tuy, Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada and Juan of Osma – date from the era of another ruling queen, Berenguela of Castile (r. 1217–46). They therefore offer a rare portrayal of one powerful queen written by close associates of another. This paper compares the depiction of Urraca in twelfth- and thirteenth-century narrative sources, concluding that the thirteenth-century authors used Urraca to convey beliefs about rulership that were shaped by their historical moment. Rather than seeing their descriptions of Urraca as rebukes of a woman who sought authority free of masculine oversight, we might more properly consider them as arguments for the legitimacy of Berenguela’s son and co-ruler, Fernando III of León-Castile.

女王的镜子？十二世纪和十三世纪的莱昂·卡斯蒂利亚皇后建筑

摘要莱昂·卡斯提勒（León-Castile）乌拉卡（Urraca）统治时期（1109–26）的来历包括她生平期间和出生后写的几本编年史，以及十三世纪的三本主要编年史。后三者-托伊的卢卡斯，罗德里戈·希门尼斯·德·拉达和奥斯马的胡安的作品–可以追溯到另一​​位统治女王卡斯蒂利亚的贝伦古拉（1217–46）。因此，它们难得地描绘了一位强大的女王/王后，而另一位女王/王后的亲密朋友则写过。本文比较了在十二世纪和十三世纪的叙事资料中对Urraca的描写，认为十三世纪的作者使用Urraca传达了受其历史时刻影响的关于统治权的信念。他们没有看到他们对Urraca的描述是对一名寻求不受男性监督的权威的女人的斥责，
