Francesca Vendrell i Gallostra (1902, in Barcelona – 1994, in Barcelona) was a Medieval historian and Professor of Latin, Spanish and Literature.[1]
She studied humanities in Barcelona and got her degree in 1921. She completed her PhD in 1931 with the thesis La corte literaria de Alfonso V de Aragón y tres poetas de la misma (1933). In 1984 she became a member of the Acadèmia de Bones Lletres de Barcelona, where she read her acceptance speech Margarida de Prades en el regnat de Ferran d'Antequera.[2]
She started her career in 1922 as a volunteer assistant in the Balmes High School (Barcelona), and she became a permanent teacher in 1928. She worked for three months in Manresa in the academic year 1934–1935. She married the Jewish historian Josep Maria Millàs i Vallicrosa in 1935 and took leave until January 1938, when she started to work in a high school in Vilafranca del Penedès. She went back to work in the Balmes High School after the Civil War, and she published several academic papers on Medieval history.[3]
