Abstract
El matrimonio, en 1335, de Beatriz de Lauria con el segundo señor de Marchena constituye
un acontecimiento fundamental en el proceso de consolidación del linaje de los Ponce de León
andaluces. Al mismo tiempo, modifica por completo las circunstancias vitales de Beatriz, no solo
por el cambio de reino que supone su traslado de Valencia a Sevilla, sino también por las complejas
relaciones entre Castilla y Aragón durante las décadas centrales del siglo XIV. Todo ello afectó a sus
aspiraciones señoriales en territorio valenciano, dificultadas por la actuación de sus hermanos Jaime
y Pedro de Jérica. El hecho de que sobreviviera a su esposo durante más de veinte años nos permite
analizar su actuación en el contexto andaluz, aspecto poco conocido y de gran interés en un reinado,
como el de Pedro I de Castilla, tan adverso para los grandes linajes sevillanos.
The marriage, in 1335, of Beatriz de Lauria to the second lord of Marchena was a fundamental event in the consolidation process of the Ponce de León lineage in Andalusia. At the same time, it completely altered Beatriz’s own circumstances, not only due to the change of kingdom that her move from Valencia to Seville involved, but also due to the complex relations between Castile and Aragon during the central decades of the 14th century. All this affected her aspirations to lordship in Valencia, hampered by the activities of her brothers Jaime and Pedro de Jérica. The fact that she outlived her husband by more than twenty years allows us to analyse her role in the Andalusian context, a little-known aspect, but one of great interest for the reign of Peter I of Castile, so adverse for the great Sevillian lineages.
