My research focuses on royal women in the central and high Middle Ages. Currently, I am researching royal women in Portugal, for a book tentatively titled The Queens of Early Portugal (1100-1250): Mothers, Sisters, and Saints. Other research focuses on women at the courts of Castile, León, and Portugal, as well as Marian imagery in medieval Iberian charters and the Cistercian Order.
