Resumen
Este artículo pretende llevar a cabo un primer estado de la cuestión en español sobre los embarazos y partos de una reina castellana de Inglaterra: Leonor de Castilla (1240-1291). En primer lugar, se presenta al personaje, remarcándose la importancia que tuvieron la maternidad y su rol como “proveedora de herederos” en su vida política y en su recuerdo. Sorprendentemente —aunque en consonancia con los estudios historiográficos generales sobre el personaje—, los trabajos sobre la primera etapa de la maternidad de esta reina se revelan escasos, limitados y con carencias, algo en lo que sin duda han influido las dificultades que plantean las fuentes primarias directas para el conocimiento del personaje. En este artículo se presentan algunas fuentes generales que otros historiadores han manejado desde diversas perspectivas por sus posibilidades y potencial, valorándose de qué modo podrían ayudar al conocimiento de la reginalidad de Leonor de Castilla.
