description The present study offers an examination of two aspects of the Leonese infantazgo from the end of the eleventh century and the first half of the twelfth: the supposed obligation of the infantas to reject matrimonial ties in order to possess the infantazgo and the manner in which this inheritance contributed to women's architectural patronage, specifically at the royal church of San Isidoro in León. This research leads to the conclusion that the infantazgo was not a monolithic institution, as it has sometimes been seen. Rather, it was shared and divided among all the women of the royal family, who apparently had a fair amount of autonomy when it came to giving out income and donating their property, even to the point of alienating it.
