Isabel de Pina Baleiras' research areas focus are Political, Social and Mentality History; as well History of Gender. In her master's degree (2008), she studied the political power of Queen Leonor Teles (1350? -1410?), wife of Fernando I of Portugal (1345-1383); in the biography "Leonor Teles, an unexpected queen", 2012, she extended the study of Leonor Teles' political journey to the attempt to reconstruct her life, a work that deserved the Lusitania award from the Portuguese Academy of History (2012). She presented papers about the political power of Leonor Teles; Infant Beatriz, her daughter; truce and peace between Portugal and Castile and the issue of Portuguese exiles (1383-1431); infants of Portugal, João and Dinis, King Fernando's half brothers. Baleiras published book chapters such as: “Portugal, 1385- A people’s choice or coup d’état?” (2019, Routledge, 9781138490574); “Love, calumnies, murders, war, ambition and survival at the court of King Fernando and Queen Leonor Teles of Portugal (1367-84)” (2018, Brill Publishers, ISBN 978-90-04-31432-0); “The marriages of Infant Beatriz” (2017, ISBN: 978-972-42- 5120-2); “Leonor Teles: the myth of the bad woman and the history of the political woman” (University of Évora, 2014, ISBN: 978-989-96532-4-5); “The political role of a Portuguese Queen in late fourteenth century” (2013, Palgrave Macmillan). Since 2016, Baleiras has dedicated herself to a doctorate at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Lisbon, whose provisional title is "Fernando I de Portugal (1367-1383): practice and awareness of power" Her supervisor is Professor Doctor Manuela Santos Silva (CH-FLUL); and her co-advisor, Professor Doctor Bernardo Vasconcelos e Sousa (IEM-FCSH-UNL). Baleiras proposes to study the political power of King Fernando I, namely his executive, legislative and judicial practice, as well as his relationship with the various interlocutors of power: queen, infant Beatriz, nobility, clergy and counties. It is her intention to question the type of power exercised: feudal, and/or authoritarian and/or dialogical, and the conscience that the king had of that power. Baleiras will analyze as well King Fernando I’s foreign policy, in connection with the Hundred Years' War on the Iberian Peninsula and the Western Schism. The role of the exiled nobility, in particular the Infants of Portugal, half brothers of King Fernando I, will be the object of analysis, taking into account the way in which the Avis dynasty emerged in 1385.
