Bratsch-Prince, Dawn E., "A queen's task: Violant de Bar and the experience of royal motherhood in fourteenth-century Aragón", La Corónica, 27 (1998), 21-34.

Resum
From her first pregnancy in 1380 to her final miscarriage in 1396, Violant's married life was framed and deeply affected by the issues and experiences of motherhood. I have documented a only a dozen or so examples of the images of motherhood as they manifest themselves in her letters. They are notable and worthy of deeper analysis insofar as they offer a rare glimpse of the realities of medieval royal motherhood from a contemporary female perspective.
