Description
Summary:This paper describes the religiosity of the Duchess of Medina Sidonia Dona Ana de Aragón (ca. 1502-1556). Married to V and VI dukes, she directed not only the ducal house’s politics but also its spiritual drives. This resulted in a policy of sponsoring religious orders, especially Dominican and Carthusian. She worked constantly to obtain ecclesiastical improvements and privileges of the Holy See, which would facilitate the salvation of the family and their servants; likewise, we also try to identify what were the personal devotions of Dona Ana de Aragón. All this indicates that we are faced with a somewhat different model of religiosity than observed so far in the southern Hispanic region, perhaps because of her Aragonese origins.
