Resumo: This article analyzes the representations of women in the Ordenações Afonsinas, thePortuguese juridical code elaborated in the 15th century that defined and classified in detailseveral crimes considered typically feminine, and that stipulated rigorous punishments. Amongthose crimes, we will discuss some aspects of adultery, concubinage, and panderism. Informedby gender representations, the juridical discourse of the Lusitanian monarchical State legitimatedthe persecution of “deviating” women undertaken by the Church. The view of justice was influencedby Christian/medieval religious imaginary, full of patriarchal and misogynistic ideas that associatedthe feminine to Eve’s archetype of the sinner, the first woman to be seduced by the Devil’s evilartifices.
