AB This study intends to analyse the participation of the married womanand the widow in the notarial public deed of the 16th century, in Spain, inlight of the notarial forms and treatises of the time and the process itself ofexecuting a notarial public deed. Visigothic Law would gather, to certainextent, Roman limitations and the openness brought by the Christiandoctrine, resulting in the different legal systems of High Medieval times,when the married woman needed a licence from her husband in order to act.Spanish Law 56 of Toro would regulate the marital licence as a generalsystem and compulsory requirement for the valid intervention of the marriedwoman. In the beginning of the 16th century, not a few women executednotarial deeds and wrote royal letters related to registering as residents,returning properties and shortening litigations.
