« L'honneur de la vicomtesse d'Illa i de Canet et d'une noble dame valencienne, deux favorites de la duchesse de Gérone, puis de la reine d'Aragon », in : Études Roussillonnaises, Revue d'Histoire et d'Archéologie Méditerranéennes, tome XX (mars 2003), p. 75-87.
Résumé
“Honour in the XIVth Century of Illa i de Canet, Viscountess and of a Noble Valencienne Woman Woman, Favorites of the Duchess of Gérone who then Became the Queen of Aragon” : Constance of Perellos, who later became Constance of Fenollet, and Illa i de Canet, Visountess, and Carroça of Vilaragut, a Valencienne noble, were successively victims of rumours spread in the court of their friend Violant of Bar, the Duchess of Gérone in 1380 who then became the Queen of Aragon from 1387 onwards. The attacks on their reputation or the dishonour inflicted on these two favorites do not mask very well the classical stakes for power, the struggles between various nobles and the internal tensions within the Catalonian-Aragon royal family. The two affairs are good examples of vengeance mechanisms and of how the solidarity networks functioned. These women reveal their strong personalities through their hardships and prove that they are and know how to remain women of honour according to the norms of proper conduct at the end of the Middle Ages
