Abstract

Women are placed in the domestic spaces by the system of genus, whereas men are assigned to the public spaces, where the politics is unrolled, because of that women are excluded from the political power. However, as the feudal society defends the transmission of the inheritance, it permit women may serve like intermediary in the transmission of the power between men of their family. Because of that, some women have arrived to inherit the political power. In other cases, women have governed like regents of their sons or their brothers. The cases which present queens or regents in the peninsular kingdoms are analysed, concluding that the exclusion of women of the political may be abandoned, so as the kingdom remain into the family. Depending on the circumstances, the decisions about women's relationship with political power are taken attending to interests of every moment.
