This concept of legal regulation corresponds to the existence of multi-formative practices, especially in societies of complex and dynamic power struggle such as the medieval. However, when it comes to gender relations, the pursuit of the orthodox radicalism seems to be the path taken by the mentality of the Middle Ages. Based on these assumptions, the study examines, as a cornerstone of this cultural situation regarding gender in the late Middle Ages, the relationship between heresy, women’s apology, and misogyny exemplified in the controversial Treatise (1391) on the trial of Brut who was considered heretical for using the female competence and the defense of its public and religious rights as a practice that violates the misogynist religious canon prescribed for the control and domination of the women.porAcesso AbertoApologia herética das mulheresMisoginia medievalJulgamento de Walter BrutHeretic apology of womenMedieval misogynyJudgment by Walter BrutArtigo
