Among the queens of the Hispanic kingdoms of the first half of the 15th century, María de Castilla, queen of Aragon between 1416 and 1458, is a very unique case. Owing to her husband's long absence from Spain -- Alfonso the Magnanimous lived in Italy ruling his kingdom of Naples for more than two decades -- she showed herself to be an exceptionally capable ruler when she took over the managing of the vast territories of the Crown of Aragon as her husband's deputy. But, regardless of her importance as maker of pivotal political decisions, her role as sovereign ended up being incomplete because of her sterility and thus her inability to give the king and kingdom an heir. Following this line of thinking, within the analyses centered in the study of the body of the prince, María de Castilla's situation leads to consider that of the queen when they are infertile and their procreation role cannot be fulfilled.
