Abstract
The role of the nobleman’s widow in preserving personal and dynastic legacy has long been a topic of historical studies on memoria. This article examines the mortuary rituals and tomb monument of John IV de Montfort (d. 1399), duke of Brittany, and how Joan of Navarre, widow and regent, participated in commemorating and shaping his memory and political contribution.
