Option 1

 * Article title
 * Petrus Ferrandi Hispanus
 * Petrus Ferrandi Hispanus - Wikipedia


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is grossly underdeveloped. If there is an encyclopedia article about this guy, then there should be more than two small paragraphs. Especially if there are two Peter of Spains, then there should be at least a detailed section about the possible link.


 * Sources
 * Peter of Spain (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Fall 2015 Edition),
 * Petrus Hispanus O.P., Auctor Summularum (III) “Petrus Alfonsi” or “Petrus Ferrandi”?, Angel D'ors

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Rotulus
 * Rotulus - Wikipedia


 * Article Evaluation
 * My biggest complaint about this article is that there are no pictures of a rotulus, only pictures of frescoes of people holding a rotulus. This brings up a question that is not answered by the article and that is why emperors would want themselves pictured with rotuli.


 * Sources
 * Introduction: The Rotulus, Brepolis:BMB (openathens.net)

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Leonor López de Córdoba
 * Leonor López de Córdoba - Wikipedia


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article mentions a "cultural testimony" coming from Memorias, but does not elaborate about the culture shown through her autobiography


 * Sources
 * Leonor López de Córdoba and the Configuration of Female-Female Desire, Gregory S. Hutcheson
 * Court and Convent: Senses and Spirituality in Hispanic Medieval Women's Writing, Lesley K. Twomey

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Stato da Màr
 * Stato da Màr - Wikipedia


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article could benefit from more sources and more attention to the History section. There is also a lack of organization within the history section


 * Sources
 * Cooperating mercantile networks in the early modern Mediterranean, Maria Fusaro

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Violant of Bar
 * Violant of Bar - Wikipedia


 * Article Evaluation
 * For a Queen-consort that ruled as regent for seven years, there is only one sentence about her time as regent. From my short and not thorough research, it seems that Violant of Bar was a political player and an avenue to see the culture of medieval royalty in Spain.
