EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Maria de Molina (c. 1265-1321), the illustrious Queen Consort of Castile and León, who ruled as regent during the minority of her son, Ferdinand IV. Born into the esteemed Molina family, Maria was married to Sancho IV of Castile in 1284, marking the beginning of her influential reign. The image showcases Maria in regal attire, adorned with the emblems of the Castilian and Leonese crowns. She is portrayed seated at a table, surrounded by the symbols of power and learning. In her hands, she holds an inkpot and quill, signifying her role as a document signatory and her involvement in the governance of the realm. Maria's reign as regent was marked by her strong leadership and diplomatic skills, which played a significant role in maintaining peace and stability in the kingdom during the minority of her son. Her tenure was also characterized by her support for the arts and education, further solidifying her place in Castilian history. This engraving, dating back to the 13th or 14th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of medieval Spain and the powerful women who shaped its destiny. The intricate details of the image, from the ornate coat of arms to the delicate folds of Maria's garments, serve as a testament to the artistic mastery of the period.
