The Relationship between the Castilian Monarchy and the Order of Preachers during the Reign of John II of Castile (1406-1454)
Abstract
Following the rise of the Trastámaran dynasty, Castilian kings took several actions concerning religious orders. In the early years, these were mostly directed at the Franciscan Order. In addition, the Carthusian order was established in the kingdom and the first Hieronymite monasteries were founded. Nevertheless, Queens Beatriz of Portugal and Catherine of Lancaster, together with the prince Ferdinand of Antequera, played a leading role in the devotional change which occurred in Castile and reached its zenith when John II came of age. From the late fourteenth century onwards, they founded several Dominican friaries and gradually began to entrust these monks with spiritual, social and political missions.Downloads
