Resumen
The power exercised by many widowed women who ruled during the sixteenth century, and which clearly appears through their decisions and their correspondence, completely contradicts the rules that were imposed on widows by the treatises written throughout the century. This paper aims to examine the nuclear elements of these treatises in order to contrast this literature with the actual governance of women like Mary of Hungary, and Margaret of Parma, among others.
