It’s crazy to think that the most important monarch those countries have are females. Elizabeth I and II. Victoria, Catherine the Great, Cleopatra, Isabelle of Castille, Mary of Scots, Maria Theresa of Austria, etc. All of them changed their countries, brought new ideas, arts and social changes. I mean, Elizabeth and Victoria have historical periods that are named after themselves.
Most of the English/British Monarchs have periods named after them. The era after the Victorian is called the Edwardian, followed by the Georgian era after the three George's and that minor Edwardian hiccup before our last King George. Then came the second Elizabethan era now we have the Carolinian Era. I'm not sure if it's the third Carolinian Era or the second as the era of the second King Charles was called the Carolean era.
Victoria, Elizabeth II, and Mary Queen of Scots weren't important monarchs for their countries. Victoria was unpopular for most of her reign as she isolated herself for decades. She was also a constitutional monarch like Elizabeth II which is why neither are important. Constitutional monarchs don't do much besides do royal events, they dont run the country. Mary Queen of Scots was very unwise. None of these women had a huge impact on their country in important ways. Victoria was a nasty woman, who didn't do much, Elizabeth II acted like a Queen but has no power. How can these women be some of the countries most important monarchs? They have limited to no power and the Queen of Scots used her heart and not her brain to rule. There are about 10 male rulers from all these countries in their history that were more important or equally important. Catherine the Great and Elizabeth I were important. They done many things for their country. But to say constitutional monarchs and Mary Queen of Scots are significant in a good way is laughable. If Victoria was an absolute monarch, there would have been a civil war.😂😂
@@jamiemohan2049 To sit there and say Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t important solely because she was a constitutional monarch is just stupid. Elizabeth ruled for 70 of English history and served as an ambassador of England. Not only that, she was beloved by millions-something you’d never know yourself btw. It truly is thoughtless to say Elizebeth didn’t do anything because she wasn’t an absolute monarch, because there literally hadn’t been one since King John singed Magna Carta in 1215.
My favorite is Jadwiga I of Poland. Jadwiga was crowned at the age of 10 as KING of Poland. Despite being crowned at such young age she never had a regant. She was one of the best rulers in polish history. She TRIPLED size of the kingdom of Poland by dimplomacy, marriage and wars. She was a great diplomat and even her enemies admitted that it was impossible to get more than she decided to give. She was also able to lead war campaigns, like when in 1387 (she was 13 at that time) she conquered Ruthenia (todays Ukraine). She also spoke in 6 languages. She gave life to the first university in Poland (Casimir the Great started the process of its creation, but Jadwiga finished the work). Sadly she reigned only for 15 years because she died young at the age of 25/26. It's really impressive how much she was able to achieve during those 15 years and it makes you think how much she could do if she lived longer. Even her enemies like Teutonic Knights admired her beauty, wisdom and admitted that she was a worthy opponent.
There are waaayy too many videos about Kings. Why is this usually the problem with men, anytime a woman gets to be featured/mentioned/recognized already so rarely, still men complain. And yet any 1million content and articles about Kings, you dont say a word?
It's the reason why Japan's line of succession is the shortest. So long as the Liberal Democrat party remains in power, the status quo will remain. Contrary to the name, which in itself is an oxymoron, the LDP is right-wing
With Japan’s first 2 queen regnants just proved that women were better rulers as when their kingdoms were ruled by men there was war but when they became queens there was peace
And Japan has a Princess Aiko (who should be heiress but she can’t because of the imperial house law forbidding female heirs 🤡) , they better do something to reinstate female succession otherwise it would be an opportunity cost for their monarchy even most Japanese people want her to become Empress but japanese parliament ain’t doing anything ☠️
@@juanchoresultay2704 True, I just visited Japan and multiple walking tour guides mentioned that Aiko is very popular/poised and the majority want her as empress. Sad there aren't any impending plans to change the law, but her father is still relatively young
@@himani8927 Unless the Emperor could say a word to give way for his daughter then it could possibly spark change to fix their succession laws . Just like how Emperor Akhito said how he is tired from being emperor then parliament was force to change their laws allowing abdication (because for akhito, it was forbidden to abdicate back then and bro and his wife broke a lot of rules (for the better) ). It can also be like that or even a major protest could do ig😂
@@himani8927 What also sucks is that I heard that even if she becomes emperor, they wouldn’t even allow her own offsprings to become heirs ☠️ Like isn’t that the whole point of succession like you are already scarce with heirs and you still forbid female line 😭🤦🏻♂️?! Either way Aiko should be Empress and they must give way for Female line!

Fun fact, Urraca’s illegitimate sister, Tareja, or Teresa, was married to Dom Henrique, and together they spawned Portugal’s first dynasty, their son, Dom Afonso Henriques, expanding the Portucalense county and reconquering land from the moors until he signed a treaty with his cousin, Afonso VII of León and Castile, (Urraca’s son), thus recognising Portugal as a reign :)
I appreciate that she does practice and doesn’t stumble over the names, but it would be nice if she or her team did a bit more research and got at least closer to the pronunciation in the original language. For example, g in Japanese is never soft, always hard, and in Hawaiian names the letter i always represents an “ee” sound, never an “aye” sound. A North American accent is fine and expected but at least get closer to the real pronunciation within the limits of English phonology.
lindsay, as a japanese american, i have never learned about the queens from the country of my birth! i’m so happy you brought them to my knowledge! so very appreciative of your research
Hi Lindsay just a tip..... Vowels in polynesian languages (like in French Polynesia, Samoa and Hawaii) are the same as vowel sounds in Spanish and Italian and similar sounds in Japanese.... Huahine is pronounced "hoo-ah-hee-neh" not "hoo-ah-hyne" 😂 I know the hawaiian language is a bit difficult but Keakealaniwahine is "Keh-ah-keh-ah-lah-nee-wah-hee-neh" Love your vids but thought I'd add my 10c lol
Could we get a part 2 to cover the countries that ranked 8-18 on your list? Your research teaches us about so many amazing women that we’ve never learned about before!
I would like to know more about the Navarre monarchy, especially Blanca II or Blanche II. She was initially married to Isabella of Castile brother. The marriage was not consummated, but she was blamed for the childless marriage and was sent back to Navarre in shame. Her father was far from good either. He refused to allow his children to inherit the throne of Navarre. Blanca and her brother rebelled in which her brother died. She did reigned briefly but was overthrown by her father and younger sister. Later on, it was believed they poisoned her to death. Her younger sister patiently waited till their father's died in order to inherit the throne.
I do find it interesting that the Duchess of Parma was mentioned, but that the Duchess of Lucca was not. Infanta Maria Luisa of Spain (who was also the Dowager Queen of the Napoleonic state of Etruria) ruled as the Duchess of Lucca from 1815 until her death in 1824. There was also the Duchy of Massa and Principality of Carrara, held in personal union, which had 2 female rulers. The first was Maria Teresa, the last of the House of Cybo-Malaspina and her daughter Maria Beatrice, the last ruler of both principalities before she died and they passed to Modena. There was also the Principality of Piombino, which had 6 princesses. Mother and daughter Paola and Caterina who reigned sequentially in the 15th century, Isabella who regained the throne after the death of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II (who seized the principality for himself) and then ruled until 1628 when she was driven off the throne by the Spanish (who just occupied the principality). The next Princess was Olimpia, Isabella’s step-granddaughter who ruled for less then a year in 1700 before dying, being succeeded by her sister Ippolita who ruled until her death in 1733, before being succeeded by her daughter Maria Eleonora (as Ippolita outlived her only son) who ruled until 1745 as the last princess, and the title has been held after her death by the House of Boncompagni-Ludovisi ever since.

Cleopatra VII’s father (Ptolemy XII) was a confirmed illegitimate son. We know that he is illegitimate because he was invited to take the throne. There are only a few instances in which the children were definitely the product of the sibling marriages.
While the family would legally intermarry, they had plenty of unofficial relationships that resulted in “illegitimate” children who added fresh blood to the line. Ancient pharaohs had multiple wives and concubines. Given that the Ptolemy’s modeled themselves after them, it’s not surprising that the Ptolemy’s had numerous “illegitimate” children.
The first actual child to be born from sibling marriage was Ptolemy V and he married a foreign princess. Also Berenice II and Ptolemy III were not siblings but maternal cousins I believe
@@mesogeia3403 Berenice II was the maternal half first cousin of Ptolemy III. Not a very incestuous marriage. First cousin marriages were very common around the world until the turn of the twentieth century, and in same countries they still are.
@@graceneilitz7661 it's not sure that he was really illegitimate I have seen that many historians lean towards Cleopatra IV as a potential mother and that the illegitimacy would come from the fact that Cleopatra III forced Ptolemy IX to divorce Cleopatra IV who was influential on the king, that their marriage was invalid and given that Ptolemy XII was born before his father's coronation he was not the son of the royal couple (Ptolemy IX and Cleopatra Selene) and the actions of Cleopatra IV after her exile must not have helped to legitimize her possible son she raised an army and asked for help from her brother Alexander (Ptolemy X) to attack Egypt what he refused she took control of the Cypriot fleet and intervened in the Seleucid civil war alongside Antiochus IX against his half-brother Antiochus VIII while the Ptolemies officially supported Antiochus VIII without intervening militarily but Cleopatra IV contracted a marriage in complete independence with the enemy and brought him part of the Ptolemaic fleet and soldiers which surely pissed off Cleopatra III and also the roman author Justin says that Cleopatra III forced Cleopatra IV to leave while she had two children and the only children of this time are Ptolemy XII and his brother Ptolemy of Cyprus and that they had to invite him is normal when Cleopatra III went to war against Ptolemy IX she sent her grandchildren to Cos for their protection but when the queen died in 101 BC the people betrayed the Ptolemies and gave the princes to Mithridates VI and they remained at his court until the death of Berenice III in 80 BC
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne We would pop champagne and raise a toast To all of the queens who are fighting alone Baby, you're not dancin' on your own. The instant i saw the video this popped into my head, dedicated to all these ruling women and you lindsay! for you're a queen just like them!👸👸👸👸👸👸
India should definitely have been on this list. We had so many queens regnant in our long history such as - 1. Ballamahadevi 2. Rudrama Devi 3. Razia Sultan (only woman to have ever ruled Delhi) 4. Tribhuvana Mahadevi I 5. Tribhuvana Mahadevi II 6. Tribhuvana Mahadevi III 7. Gauri Mahadevi 8. Dandi Mahadevi 9. Vakula Mahadevi 10. Dharma Mahadevi 11. Qudsia Begum 12. Shahjahan Begum 13. Sikander Begum 14. Sultan Jahan 15. Chennabhairadevi (longest ruling Indian queen, defeated the portugese) 16. Ahilyabai Holkar 17. Sugandha 18. Didda 19. Kota Rani 20. Keladi Chennamma 21. Velu Nachiyar 22. Vellachi Nachiyar 23. Sujana Bai Bhonsle 24. Gouri Lakshmi Bayi 25. Abbakka Chowta 26. Ali Raja Bibi Harrabichi Kadavube (ruled 1728-1732) 27. Ali Raja Bibi Junumabe I (ruled 1732-1745) 28. Ali Raja Bibi Junumabe II Besides these, there have been also many more female monarchs of much smaller and lesser known states, and if we include queen regents and the women who actually controlled the kingdoms such as Nur Jahan, the Mughal Empress, then this list will become even longer.
a worthy mention is Tamar the Great (Georgian: თამარ მეფე, romanized: tamar mepe, lit. 'King Tamar') (c. 1160 - 18 January 1213) Queen regnant of Georgia from 1184 to 1213, presiding over the apex of the Georgian Golden Age. A member of the Bagrationi dynasty, her position as the first woman to rule Georgia in her own right was emphasized by the title mepe ("king"), afforded to Tamar in the medieval Georgian sources. Jadwiga (Polish: 1384 -1399), also known as Hedwig (Hungarian: Hedvig), was the first woman to be crowned as monarch of the Kingdom of Poland. Anna Jagiellon (Polish: Anna Jagiellonka, Lithuanian: Ona Jogailaitė; was Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania from 1575 to 1587. Mary of Burgundy (French: Marie de Bourgogne; Dutch: Maria van Bourgondië; nicknamed the Rich, was a member of the House of Valois-Burgundy who ruled a collection of states that included the duchies of Limburg, Brabant, Luxembourg, the counties of Namur, Holland, Hainaut and other territories, from 1477 until her death in 1482....
I love hearing about the queens of the world and how they ruled I especially love magnificent century and the sultanate of women I am starting to watch the kosem version but I love Hurrem more than any other character in the show.
@@graceneilitz7661 I know that I’m tired of people like you treating me like I don’t know what I’m talking about I know what is accurate and which is not and I don’t need you or anybody else correcting me.
I am sorry, but you got Navarre somewhat mixed up. Catherine and Joanna III only ruled Lower Navarre, in what is now France. Upper Navarre was captured by Ferdinand of Aragon and has been spanish ever since. Therefore, Navarre was not annexed to France by Louis XIII and then handed back to Spain. Louis XIII only annexed Lower Navarre.
Hey Lindsay, can you talk about the Queens Regnant of Navarre? Not only is Navarre fascinating not only for having the most Queens Regnant during the medieval period but the Queens themselves were very fascinating woman. My favorite is Joan II of Navarre.
If you’re basing on modern countries’ borders, Bali is actually in Indonesia, and back then we have so many kingdoms even an empire led by Queens, most of them are actually reached the golden era when they’re on the throne. Some of them: 1. Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi (Mahapahit Empire) 2. Ratu Kalinyamat 3. Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Zainatuddin Kamalat Syah (Sultanate of Aceh, she’s the 4th Queen in a row) 4. Ratu Shima 5. Mahendradatta (from Bali - part of Indonesia) And so on… We also have matrilineal ethnic group that exist until now called Minangkabau. Even There’s an ethnic group recognized 5 genders expression called Bugis. We also have Keumalahayati, or Malahayati, tho she’s not a classic definition of a Queen, She was the first woman admiral in the modern world (if Artemisia I is not included). She led an army consisting of female soldiers. She beaten Dutch commander Cornelis de Houtman on a ship. Malahayati's reputation as the guardian of the Aceh Kingdom led England to choose a peaceful, diplomatic method by which to enter the Malacca Strait. A letter from Queen Elizabeth I was brought by James Lancaster to the Sultan of Aceh.

Queen Himiko makes an appearance in the game Okami. She's the ruler of Sei-an city and uses an orb to divine the future or event. Other than Amaterasu, she's my favorite character.
oooh this is promising :)) My favourite from those I know enough of has to be Catherine the Great. She’s truly deserving of her title, she led her nation to glory while being good. Her only failure was leaving the throne to her son, but even that she tried not to do, but died before she could make it official. I suppose she can also be faulted for not being a good mother, but she was prevented from it in the beginning, when Empress Elizabeth snatched her son from her, thus ruining the mother son bond that could’ve been formed. All in all, one love Catherine:))
just like what happened to the Russian empire after Catherine the Great died. Her son changed the laws that forbids women from inheriting the Russian throne.
Im a big fan of this channel, but i have to agree with the other comments regarding some of the pronunciations. It's a huge disservice to Asian and Native Hawaiians (and I'm sure some of the other non-white names that I'm just not familiar with) to hear the butchering of our ancestors' names. Since it's a sponsored video, you'd think all the information would be stated correctly, right?
My apologies for the correction. Octavian did not become the first Roman Emperor until 27 B.C.E., 4 years after the Battle of Actium, the last stand of Marc Antony and Cleopatra VII.
Thank you for telling these stories and bringing visibility to influential women and their roles in history. It’s been eye opening…not sure if I could handle their duties.
I take it that not just queens are counted but also other forms of monarchy of lower rank like duchesses and countesses etc.? If so with regards to Italy there was a very interesting ruler called Mathilda countess of Tuscany who was made a saint. At the time Italy and the rest of the Holy Roman empire was rent by a conflict between the secular rulers headed by the emperor Henry IV in opposition to the church that wanted to have the last say in most matters. Mathilda took the side of the pope and the church and actually led armies in battles against the forces of the emperor and his allies.She and the pope won and forced the emperor into a humiliating show of repentance at a place called Canossa. As a result the church gained a lot of territory in central Italy which it possessed until the mid 19th century a remnant of which is now the tiny state of Vatican city within the city of Rome. She was made a saint largely because of her undying support for the church and its interests.One of the most powerful women of the middle ages!
Egypt's history of queen regnants is interesting because historians believe that there were more queen regnants before Sobekneferu. It's commonly believed that a woman named Merneith managed to rule in her own right based on historical records that existed during her lifetime. Additionally, it is speculated that a woman named Neithhotep ruled in her own right before Merneith, though this may have been because historians initially believed her to be a male ruler. However, the reason Sobekneferu is recorded as the earliest queen regnant because she was the first woman to adopt the full royal titularies.
could the high number of queens tell how history is much more recorded in those places ? i think some places could have had more if only they had more of written records or historians studying these records
There are a couple of queens mentioned in repect to England that I would not really quite call queens regnant, but nevertheless a very interesting and informative video. Thanks.
1. Constance I of Sicily inherited her claim to the throne from her nephew, not brother. 2. Constance II of Sicily wasnt an only child, she had many half-siblings. 3. Mary II and William werent the first joint monarchs of England. Mary I also reigned jointly with Philip of Spain. 4. Blanca I of Navarre wasnt an only child, she had 3 sisters.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Hawaiian names have silent e's, so names like Keakalaniwahine would be pronounced "keh-ah-kah-lah-nee-wah-hee-neh." Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure g's are always pronounced the same in Japanese, so Genmei would have a g as in girl.
Emperor Koken was not deposed, she abdicated. She was also Japan’s first female Crown Prince, designated heir. As she is descendant of the founders of two great house via her mother, Fujiwara from her grandfather and Tachibana from her grandmother. Her first reign was held by her mother the Empress Dowager, so when her mother died she decide to abdicate to her nephew. But later regain the throne by declaring her nephew as unsuitable to the throne. Empress Meisho was chosen because she was the eldest niece of the Shogun. In an attempt to keep the throne close to the Shogunate.
I would love to see a piece done one how female rules compare to male with respect to advancements of their countries arts, science, growth, etc. I think they have left better legacies, reigned longer, and were better overall.
Malaysia-Thailand, is it Queen Raja Hijau, Queen Raja Biru, Queen Raja Ungu, Queen Raja Kuning, Queen Che Siti Wan Kembang, Queen Victoria of UK, Queen Elizabeth II?
The thing with Egypt is that they were actually required to have a king and a queen always. The term pharaoh actually means both, the joint rulership is considered two sides of the same coin.
Jane is considered on some level from what I’ve read but could be wrong ,but yeah definitely Matilda is not a queen regnant of England it really annoys me the amount of people that insist she is.
@@andypham1636 Jane’s legality of being Queen (if she is supposed to be or not) depends if you buy the Edward VI last updated will, but yeah she really didn’t want to be
@@andypham1636 oh ok, so then she just wasn’t legally supposed to be queen when she was but after cause in Henry the VIII will she would have been Queen after Elizabeth if the will had been followed.
A few corrections about Navarre, after the death of Louis X of France and I of Navarre, son of Joanna I of Navarre, he was succeeded by his son Jean the Posthumous who died shortly and then by Louis's two brothers Philip V of France and II of Navarre and Charles IV of France and I of Navarre. Only after that did Joanna II inherit the Kingdom of Navarre but not France. Also, all husbands of the Queens of Navarre were automatically co-rulers as was the law in Navarre. During the reign of Catherine of Navarre and her husband John III in 1512, Ferdinand the catholic invaded and conquered all of Navarre south of the Pyrenees. There were a few failed attempts to retake this land by Navarre but after the Treaty of Cambrai in 1529 Navarre was officially partitioned into Upper Navarre south of the Pyrenees which included the overwhelming majority of the Kingdom and Lower Navarre which is a tiny strip of land north of the Pyrenees. The treaty was finalized during the reign of Catherine's son and successor Henry II of Navarre, the father of Joanna III. Joanna III was Catherine's granddaughter not daughter. Also, Lower Navarre did not return to Spain and is currently part of the French Basque Country.
Finally, a video that laughs in the face of twelve-year-old me! When I lived in England, everybody was saying: "The longest-reigning monarch in British History," when talking about Queen Victoria. Whenever I heard that, I thought to myself: "She's a fraud! She never ruled anything after her husband died." But Queen Elizabeth II, she did rule the country (even though she held the same level of power as the PM, which has been the case since the reign of her grandfather, George V), and did not stop until she dropped dead. She surpassed Victoria as well as many other rulers, and she is the second-longest-reigning monarch in history, behind Louis XIV.

Please work on your Japanese pronunciation. 1. is [gʲ] or [ɟ], not [gai̯]. Thus, Kōgyoku is [koːgʲokɯ] or [koːɟokɯ] 2. is [g], never [d͜ʑ]. Additionally, vowels are in hiatus. Thus, for example, Genmei is [geɴme.i]. Although, you pronounced Aiko correctly. 3. is [i], never [ai̯]. Thus, Meiji is [me.id͜ʑi]
I've been studying Japanese for 10 years, her pronunciation isn't perfect but it's far better than 90% of historians. Literally, and I mean this kindly, shut the fuck up
Being from the UK, I find it fascinating that many people around the world have never had a woman as head of state or as head of government. Just shows how far some have come and far others have to go
Russia had NINE empress or princesses regnant? I can't see it. From Tsar Peter I till Paul outlawed female succession ( yes he hated his mother Catherine II that much!) there were Catherine I, II Anne and Elizabeth. Anna Leopoldovna as the mother of poor Ivan VI was regent but not a reigning queen as were the mother of Ivan IV, Elena Glinskaya; and the Sister of the young Peter the Great, Sophia Alexeyevna. There was also Grand Princess Olga of the10th century. For the life of me I cannot think who the 9th would be, unless i include the mother of young Tsar Michael, the nun Marfa - forced to take the veil to exclude her from the throne as was her husband. She acted as a regent until removed in favour of her ex husband the Patriarch of Moscow Philaret Are you stretching a point ( too far IMO) or have i missed something? I count FOUR empresses, or FIVE if you count Grand Princess Olga BUT my aging memory is not what it used to be. I will gladly take correction if you can offer it
OK, so the Ptolemies were, eh, extra cringe. You kind of suspect they were importing fresh blood on the DL to wind up with someone as sharp as Cleo VII. Meanwhile, I always find it heartwarming to see Jane of the Nine Days counted as queen. I mean it's not as if *every* single "monarch" ever counted was able to achieve anything before getting taken down by the Law of Says I and THIS Army.
One thing to add, There are at least 8 confirmed queens that ruled over some parts of the arabian peninsula. All of which belong to arab descent. Arwa Al-Sulayhi, Zabibe, Samsi, Yatie, Te'el-hunu, Tabua, Adia, Sitt Al-Mulk Ontop of that there were various female tribal leaders (sheikhat) before and after islam, Like sojyah (صوغية) who ruled over the tribal territories of bnu main in joint rule with her husband. Mind you tribalism was the primary form of governance in the middle part of the peninsula for a long time, just thought itd be fun to share!
Inbreeding doesn’t create genetic disorders, it just hugely increases the chances of bad genes that already exist in a bloodline getting expressed. Marrying your sister won’t create a new disease, but you kid does have a much higher chance of getting a defective gene from both of you and therefore being ill. It could just be that the Ptolemaic dynasty was very lucky and didn’t really have any problems to pass on, although they did have a serious infertility/infant mortality issue
In Latin it means "to reign" so a Queen Regnant means that the Queen rules in her own right not just a wife to the King but therefore a "Queen Regnant"
I just couldn't imagine having so many pregnancies and burying every single child.
My heart breaks for Anne every time.

It’s crazy to think that the most important monarch those countries have are females. Elizabeth I and II.

Most of the English/British Monarchs have periods named after them. The era after the Victorian is called the Edwardian, followed by the Georgian era after the three George's and that minor Edwardian hiccup before our last King George. Then came the second Elizabethan era now we have the Carolinian Era. I'm not sure if it's the third Carolinian Era or the second as the era of the second King Charles was called the Carolean era.
I’m completely against monarchy and thinking these people were good at all. But, it’s no surprise that women are better leaders than men.

My favorite queens as well.
My favorite is Jadwiga I of Poland. Jadwiga was crowned at the age of 10 as KING of Poland. Despite being crowned at such young age she never had a regant. She was one of the best rulers in polish history. She TRIPLED size of the kingdom of Poland by dimplomacy, marriage and wars.

She gave life to the first university in Poland (Casimir the Great started the process of its creation, but Jadwiga finished the work). Sadly she reigned only for 15 years because she died young at the age of 25/26. It's really impressive how much she was able to achieve during those 15 years and it makes you think how much she could do if she lived longer. Even her enemies like Teutonic Knights admired her beauty, wisdom and admitted that she was a worthy opponent.

@@Limegreenedragonunless pm can call an election ig and people can vote to oust them 🤷♂️ Idk which party supports a female succesion
@@juanchoresultay2704that's only half the story
@@Limegreenedragon yup 😂
Not until the year 2101, though.
With Japan’s first 2 queen regnants just proved that women were better rulers as when their kingdoms were ruled by men there was war but when they became queens there was peace
And Japan has a Princess Aiko (who should be heiress but she can’t because of the imperial house law forbidding female heirs 🤡) , they better do something to reinstate female succession otherwise it would be an opportunity cost for their monarchy even most Japanese people want her to become Empress but japanese parliament ain’t doing anything ☠️
@@juanchoresultay2704 True, I just visited Japan and multiple walking tour guides mentioned that Aiko is very popular/poised and the majority want her as empress. Sad there aren't any impending plans to change the law, but her father is still relatively young
@@himani8927 Unless the Emperor could say a word to give way for his daughter then it could possibly spark change to fix their succession laws . Just like how Emperor Akhito said how he is tired from being emperor then parliament was force to change their laws allowing abdication (because for akhito, it was forbidden to abdicate back then and bro and his wife broke a lot of rules (for the better) ). It can also be like that or even a major protest could do ig😂
@@himani8927 What also sucks is that I heard that even if she becomes emperor, they wouldn’t even allow her own offsprings to become heirs ☠️ Like isn’t that the whole point of succession like you are already scarce with heirs and you still forbid female line 😭🤦🏻♂️?! Either way Aiko should be Empress and they must give way for Female line!

Fun fact, Urraca’s illegitimate sister, Tareja, or Teresa, was married to Dom Henrique, and together they spawned Portugal’s first dynasty, their son, Dom Afonso Henriques, expanding the Portucalense county and reconquering land from the moors until he signed a treaty with his cousin, Afonso VII of León and Castile, (Urraca’s son), thus recognising Portugal as a reign :)
Your pronunciation of difficult names and places is exquisite!
She didn't do too well with Japanese names
I appreciate that she does practice and doesn’t stumble over the names, but it would be nice if she or her team did a bit more research and got at least closer to the pronunciation in the original language. For example, g in Japanese is never soft, always hard, and in Hawaiian names the letter i always represents an “ee” sound, never an “aye” sound. A North American accent is fine and expected but at least get closer to the real pronunciation within the limits of English phonology.
Not really. She completely butchered the Japanese ones.
lindsay, as a japanese american, i have never learned about the queens from the country of my birth! i’m so happy you brought them to my knowledge! so very appreciative of your research
Hi Lindsay just a tip.....
Vowels in polynesian languages (like in French Polynesia, Samoa and Hawaii) are the same as vowel sounds in Spanish and Italian and similar sounds in Japanese....
Huahine is pronounced "hoo-ah-hee-neh" not "hoo-ah-hyne" 😂
I know the hawaiian language is a bit difficult but Keakealaniwahine is "Keh-ah-keh-ah-lah-nee-wah-hee-neh"

Could we get a part 2 to cover the countries that ranked 8-18 on your list? Your research teaches us about so many amazing women that we’ve never learned about before!
Queen content during Women's History Month is honestly now one of my favourite ways to celebrate such strong and fascinating women
Love all the Queen content during Women's History Month! 👑
Holy moly. ⚘ Your vast amount of details reflect the vast amount of research done on this and all of your videos. My compliments. Outstanding.
I would like to know more about the Navarre monarchy, especially Blanca II or Blanche II. She was initially married to Isabella of Castile brother. The marriage was not consummated, but she was blamed for the childless marriage and was sent back to Navarre in shame.
Her father was far from good either. He refused to allow his children to inherit the throne of Navarre. Blanca and her brother rebelled in which her brother died. She did reigned briefly but was overthrown by her father and younger sister. Later on, it was believed they poisoned her to death. Her younger sister patiently waited till their father's died in order to inherit the throne.
I do find it interesting that the Duchess of Parma was mentioned, but that the Duchess of Lucca was not. Infanta Maria Luisa of Spain (who was also the Dowager Queen of the Napoleonic state of Etruria) ruled as the Duchess of Lucca from 1815 until her death in 1824.
There was also the Duchy of Massa and Principality of Carrara, held in personal union, which had 2 female rulers. The first was Maria Teresa, the last of the House of Cybo-Malaspina and her daughter Maria Beatrice, the last ruler of both principalities before she died and they passed to Modena.
There was also the Principality of Piombino, which had 6 princesses. Mother and daughter Paola and Caterina who reigned sequentially in the 15th century, Isabella who regained the throne after the death of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II (who seized the principality for himself) and then ruled until 1628 when she was driven off the throne by the Spanish (who just occupied the principality). The next Princess was Olimpia, Isabella’s step-granddaughter who ruled for less then a year in 1700 before dying, being succeeded by her sister Ippolita who ruled until her death in 1733, before being succeeded by her daughter Maria Eleonora (as Ippolita outlived her only son) who ruled until 1745 as the last princess, and the title has been held after her death by the House of Boncompagni-Ludovisi ever since.
I'm amazed at how you are able to find so much information and be able to cross over that info to different videos when there is a cross over of information. You're so talented! You're the best for a reason! Keep up the good work!

Amazing you mentioned Urraca of Leon!!!
How did the Cleopatras ancestors survive so long , when inbreeding more than the Hapsburgs? I suspect that not all children were legit
Cleopatra VII’s father (Ptolemy XII) was a confirmed illegitimate son. We know that he is illegitimate because he was invited to take the throne.
There are only a few instances in which the children were definitely the product of the sibling marriages.
While the family would legally intermarry, they had plenty of unofficial relationships that resulted in “illegitimate” children who added fresh blood to the line.
Ancient pharaohs had multiple wives and concubines. Given that the Ptolemy’s modeled themselves after them, it’s not surprising that the Ptolemy’s had numerous “illegitimate” children.
The first actual child to be born from sibling marriage was Ptolemy V and he married a foreign princess.
Also Berenice II and Ptolemy III were not siblings but maternal cousins I believe
@@mesogeia3403
Berenice II was the maternal half first cousin of Ptolemy III.
Not a very incestuous marriage. First cousin marriages were very common around the world until the turn of the twentieth century, and in same countries they still are.
@@graceneilitz7661 it's not sure that he was really illegitimate
I have seen that many historians lean towards Cleopatra IV as a potential mother
and that the illegitimacy would come from the fact that Cleopatra III forced Ptolemy IX to divorce Cleopatra IV who was influential on the king, that their marriage was invalid and given that Ptolemy XII was born before his father's coronation
he was not the son of the royal couple (Ptolemy IX and Cleopatra Selene)
and the actions of Cleopatra IV after her exile must not have helped to legitimize her possible son
she raised an army and asked for help from her brother Alexander (Ptolemy X) to attack Egypt
what he refused
she took control of the Cypriot fleet and intervened in the Seleucid civil war
alongside Antiochus IX against his half-brother Antiochus VIII while the Ptolemies officially supported Antiochus VIII without intervening militarily
but Cleopatra IV contracted a marriage in complete independence with the enemy and brought him part of the Ptolemaic fleet and soldiers
which surely pissed off Cleopatra III
and also the roman author Justin says that Cleopatra III forced Cleopatra IV to leave while she had two children
and the only children of this time are Ptolemy XII and his brother Ptolemy of Cyprus
and that they had to invite him is normal
when Cleopatra III went to war against Ptolemy IX
she sent her grandchildren to Cos for their protection but when the queen died in 101 BC
the people betrayed the Ptolemies and gave
the princes to Mithridates VI
and they remained at his court until the death of Berenice III in 80 BC
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancin' on your own.
The instant i saw the video this popped into my head, dedicated to all these ruling women and you lindsay! for you're a queen just like them!👸👸👸👸👸👸
India should definitely have been on this list. We had so many queens regnant in our long history such as -
1. Ballamahadevi
2. Rudrama Devi
3. Razia Sultan (only woman to have ever ruled Delhi)
4. Tribhuvana Mahadevi I
5. Tribhuvana Mahadevi II
6. Tribhuvana Mahadevi III
7. Gauri Mahadevi
8. Dandi Mahadevi
9. Vakula Mahadevi
10. Dharma Mahadevi
11. Qudsia Begum
12. Shahjahan Begum
13. Sikander Begum
14. Sultan Jahan
15. Chennabhairadevi (longest ruling Indian queen, defeated the portugese)
16. Ahilyabai Holkar
17. Sugandha
18. Didda
19. Kota Rani
20. Keladi Chennamma
21. Velu Nachiyar
22. Vellachi Nachiyar
23. Sujana Bai Bhonsle
24. Gouri Lakshmi Bayi
25. Abbakka Chowta
26. Ali Raja Bibi Harrabichi Kadavube (ruled 1728-1732)
27. Ali Raja Bibi Junumabe I (ruled 1732-1745)
28. Ali Raja Bibi Junumabe II
Besides these, there have been also many more female monarchs of much smaller and lesser known states, and if we include queen regents and the women who actually controlled the kingdoms such as Nur Jahan, the Mughal Empress, then this list will become even longer.
a worthy mention is
Tamar the Great (Georgian: თამარ მეფე, romanized: tamar mepe, lit. 'King Tamar') (c. 1160 - 18 January 1213)
Queen regnant of Georgia from 1184 to 1213, presiding over the apex of the Georgian Golden Age.
A member of the Bagrationi dynasty, her position as the first woman to rule Georgia in her own right was emphasized by the title mepe ("king"), afforded to Tamar in the medieval Georgian sources.
Jadwiga (Polish: 1384 -1399), also known as Hedwig (Hungarian: Hedvig), was the first woman to be crowned as monarch of the Kingdom of Poland.
Anna Jagiellon (Polish: Anna Jagiellonka, Lithuanian: Ona Jogailaitė; was Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania from 1575 to 1587.
Mary of Burgundy (French: Marie de Bourgogne; Dutch: Maria van Bourgondië;
nicknamed the Rich, was a member of the House of Valois-Burgundy who ruled a collection of states that included the duchies of Limburg, Brabant, Luxembourg, the counties of Namur, Holland, Hainaut and other territories, from 1477 until her death in 1482....

I am sorry, but you got Navarre somewhat mixed up. Catherine and Joanna III only ruled Lower Navarre, in what is now France. Upper Navarre was captured by Ferdinand of Aragon and has been spanish ever since. Therefore, Navarre was not annexed to France by Louis XIII and then handed back to Spain. Louis XIII only annexed Lower Navarre.
great vid, just a quick note all japanese g is pronounced as in gone
can you make a video about margaret Maid of Norway
Hey Lindsay, can you talk about the Queens Regnant of Navarre? Not only is Navarre fascinating not only for having the most Queens Regnant during the medieval period but the Queens themselves were very fascinating woman. My favorite is Joan II of Navarre.
You pronounce the names so beautifully. Great video!
Big fan of Lindsay but I feel she butchered the Japanese names though!!

Brother Husband is killing me softly 😢
If you’re basing on modern countries’ borders, Bali is actually in Indonesia, and back then we have so many kingdoms even an empire led by Queens, most of them are actually reached the golden era when they’re on the throne.
Some of them:
1. Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi (Mahapahit Empire)
2. Ratu Kalinyamat
3. Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Zainatuddin Kamalat Syah (Sultanate of Aceh, she’s the 4th Queen in a row)
4. Ratu Shima
5. Mahendradatta (from Bali - part of Indonesia)
And so on…
We also have matrilineal ethnic group that exist until now called Minangkabau. Even There’s an ethnic group recognized 5 genders expression called Bugis.
We also have Keumalahayati, or Malahayati, tho she’s not a classic definition of a Queen, She was the first woman admiral in the modern world (if Artemisia I is not included). She led an army consisting of female soldiers. She beaten Dutch commander Cornelis de Houtman on a ship.
Malahayati's reputation as the guardian of the Aceh Kingdom led England to choose a peaceful, diplomatic method by which to enter the Malacca Strait. A letter from Queen Elizabeth I was brought by James Lancaster to the Sultan of Aceh.

Queen Himiko makes an appearance in the game Okami. She's the ruler of Sei-an city and uses an orb to divine the future or event. Other than Amaterasu, she's my favorite character.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯
The most powerful Queen is:
1. Empress Wu Zetian
2. Queen Victoria
3. Empress Catherine the Great
4. Empress Maria Theresa
5. Queen Elizabeth I
oooh this is promising :))
My favourite from those I know enough of has to be Catherine the Great. She’s truly deserving of her title, she led her nation to glory while being good. Her only failure was leaving the throne to her son, but even that she tried not to do, but died before she could make it official. I suppose she can also be faulted for not being a good mother, but she was prevented from it in the beginning, when Empress Elizabeth snatched her son from her, thus ruining the mother son bond that could’ve been formed.
All in all, one love Catherine:))
Love how you always put the maximum effort in pronouncing names❤
How ironic that Japan, which used to have a few female regnant queens/empresses, forbids women from inheriting the throne today.
just like what happened to the Russian empire after Catherine the Great died. Her son changed the laws that forbids women from inheriting the Russian throne.
Also after Isabella II was deposed, there was an Italian king for a short while, then her son was king
Im a big fan of this channel, but i have to agree with the other comments regarding some of the pronunciations. It's a huge disservice to Asian and Native Hawaiians (and I'm sure some of the other non-white names that I'm just not familiar with) to hear the butchering of our ancestors' names. Since it's a sponsored video, you'd think all the information would be stated correctly, right?
I would love to hear more about the legendary queens. your videos are great I have been watching different ones everyday for a week straight.
My apologies for the correction. Octavian did not become the first Roman Emperor until 27 B.C.E., 4 years after the Battle of Actium, the last stand of Marc Antony and Cleopatra VII.
Can you please do an episode about Military Service among members of the British Royal Family?
Thank you for telling these stories and bringing visibility to influential women and their roles in history. It’s been eye opening…not sure if I could handle their duties.
I take it that not just queens are counted but also other forms of monarchy of lower rank like duchesses and countesses etc.? If so with regards to Italy there was a very interesting ruler called Mathilda countess of Tuscany who was made a saint. At the time Italy and the rest of the Holy Roman empire was rent by a conflict between the secular rulers headed by the emperor Henry IV in opposition to the church that wanted to have the last say in most matters. Mathilda took the side of the pope and the church and actually led armies in battles against the forces of the emperor and his allies.She and the pope won and forced the emperor into a humiliating show of repentance at a place called Canossa. As a result the church gained a lot of territory in central Italy which it possessed until the mid 19th century a remnant of which is now the tiny state of Vatican city within the city of Rome. She was made a saint largely because of her undying support for the church and its interests.One of the most powerful women of the middle ages!
Egypt's history of queen regnants is interesting because historians believe that there were more queen regnants before Sobekneferu. It's commonly believed that a woman named Merneith managed to rule in her own right based on historical records that existed during her lifetime. Additionally, it is speculated that a woman named Neithhotep ruled in her own right before Merneith, though this may have been because historians initially believed her to be a male ruler. However, the reason Sobekneferu is recorded as the earliest queen regnant because she was the first woman to adopt the full royal titularies.
In Spain the succesion wasn´t changed until Felipe was crowned king, because he has two elder sisters.
Look at all this Egyptan Queens and we still only get Movies about Cleopatra that Cleopatra
Wu Zetian, is my favourite! 🤡
I wish if you included every country. 😔 But thanks a lot for the video Lindsay, I really enjoyed it!
could the high number of queens tell how history is much more recorded in those places ? i think some places could have had more if only they had more of written records or historians studying these records
you are rocking those Hawaiian name pronunciations
There are a couple of queens mentioned in repect to England that I would not really quite call queens regnant, but nevertheless a very interesting and informative video. Thanks.
hey! can you do more videos about individual people (royals) and their lives or about a place's history. i love your videos by the way!
1. Constance I of Sicily inherited her claim to the throne from her nephew, not brother.
2. Constance II of Sicily wasnt an only child, she had many half-siblings.
3. Mary II and William werent the first joint monarchs of England. Mary I also reigned jointly with Philip of Spain.
4. Blanca I of Navarre wasnt an only child, she had 3 sisters.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Hawaiian names have silent e's, so names like Keakalaniwahine would be pronounced "keh-ah-kah-lah-nee-wah-hee-neh." Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure g's are always pronounced the same in Japanese, so Genmei would have a g as in girl.
Can you make a video about the story of Maria Feodorovna of Russia, the mother of Tsar Nicholas II?
Emperor Koken was not deposed, she abdicated. She was also Japan’s first female Crown Prince, designated heir. As she is descendant of the founders of two great house via her mother, Fujiwara from her grandfather and Tachibana from her grandmother. Her first reign was held by her mother the Empress Dowager, so when her mother died she decide to abdicate to her nephew. But later regain the throne by declaring her nephew as unsuitable to the throne.
Empress Meisho was chosen because she was the eldest niece of the Shogun. In an attempt to keep the throne close to the Shogunate.
I would love to see a piece done one how female rules compare to male with respect to advancements of their countries arts, science, growth, etc. I think they have left better legacies, reigned longer, and were better overall.
Malaysia-Thailand, is it Queen Raja Hijau, Queen Raja Biru, Queen Raja Ungu, Queen Raja Kuning, Queen Che Siti Wan Kembang, Queen Victoria of UK, Queen Elizabeth II?
I just love these videos and they end far too soon!
The thing with Egypt is that they were actually required to have a king and a queen always. The term pharaoh actually means both, the joint rulership is considered two sides of the same coin.
No, Lindsay - Mathilda and Jane are not counted as Queens Regnant of England
Jane is considered on some level from what I’ve read but could be wrong ,but yeah definitely Matilda is not a queen regnant of England it really annoys me the amount of people that insist she is.

A few corrections about Navarre, after the death of Louis X of France and I of Navarre, son of Joanna I of Navarre, he was succeeded by his son Jean the Posthumous who died shortly and then by Louis's two brothers Philip V of France and II of Navarre and Charles IV of France and I of Navarre. Only after that did Joanna II inherit the Kingdom of Navarre but not France. Also, all husbands of the Queens of Navarre were automatically co-rulers as was the law in Navarre. During the reign of Catherine of Navarre and her husband John III in 1512, Ferdinand the catholic invaded and conquered all of Navarre south of the Pyrenees. There were a few failed attempts to retake this land by Navarre but after the Treaty of Cambrai in 1529 Navarre was officially partitioned into Upper Navarre south of the Pyrenees which included the overwhelming majority of the Kingdom and Lower Navarre which is a tiny strip of land north of the Pyrenees. The treaty was finalized during the reign of Catherine's son and successor Henry II of Navarre, the father of Joanna III. Joanna III was Catherine's granddaughter not daughter. Also, Lower Navarre did not return to Spain and is currently part of the French Basque Country.
Finally, a video that laughs in the face of twelve-year-old me! When I lived in England, everybody was saying: "The longest-reigning monarch in British History," when talking about Queen Victoria. Whenever I heard that, I thought to myself: "She's a fraud! She never ruled anything after her husband died." But Queen Elizabeth II, she did rule the country (even though she held the same level of power as the PM, which has been the case since the reign of her grandfather, George V), and did not stop until she dropped dead. She surpassed Victoria as well as many other rulers, and she is the second-longest-reigning monarch in history, behind Louis XIV.

Please work on your Japanese pronunciation.
1. is [gʲ] or [ɟ], not [gai̯]. Thus, Kōgyoku is [koːgʲokɯ] or [koːɟokɯ]
2. is [g], never [d͜ʑ]. Additionally, vowels are in hiatus. Thus, for example, Genmei is [geɴme.i]. Although, you pronounced Aiko correctly.
3. is [i], never [ai̯]. Thus, Meiji is [me.id͜ʑi]
I've been studying Japanese for 10 years, her pronunciation isn't perfect but it's far better than 90% of historians. Literally, and I mean this kindly, shut the fuck up
Didn't know about that fully palatal allophone of /gj/
lmao she dosn't havde too she doesn't owe us anything she's not native
Being from the UK, I find it fascinating that many people around the world have never had a woman as head of state or as head of government. Just shows how far some have come and far others have to go
My understanding is Himiko is also widely considered legendary
Cheers to more Queen videos!
I wish you were my official history teacher
Russia had NINE empress or princesses regnant?
I can't see it. From Tsar Peter I till Paul outlawed female succession ( yes he hated his mother Catherine II that much!) there were Catherine I, II Anne and Elizabeth. Anna Leopoldovna as the mother of poor Ivan VI was regent but not a reigning queen as were the mother of Ivan IV, Elena Glinskaya; and the Sister of the young Peter the Great, Sophia Alexeyevna.
There was also Grand Princess Olga of the10th century.
For the life of me I cannot think who the 9th would be, unless i include the mother of young Tsar Michael, the nun Marfa - forced to take the veil to exclude her from the throne as was her husband. She acted as a regent until removed in favour of her ex husband the Patriarch of Moscow Philaret
Are you stretching a point ( too far IMO) or have i missed something?
I count FOUR empresses, or FIVE if you count Grand Princess Olga
BUT my aging memory is not what it used to be. I will gladly take correction if you can offer it
No i think you are right
OK, so the Ptolemies were, eh, extra cringe. You kind of suspect they were importing fresh blood on the DL to wind up with someone as sharp as Cleo VII.
Meanwhile, I always find it heartwarming to see Jane of the Nine Days counted as queen. I mean it's not as if *every* single "monarch" ever counted was able to achieve anything before getting taken down by the Law of Says I and THIS Army.
The U.K. did a great job allowing ladies to be Queen Regnants.
Ptolemy II did NOT hate Arsinoe II and he did NOT poison her other sons, that was their elder half brother Ptolemy keraunos “the thunderbolt”.
Like hearing about all the queens
Waiting for the episode about Nigerian royal families
Correction: Joan II of Navarre was denied her claims to the throne until the she was the only agnatic descendant of Queen Joan I
One thing to add, There are at least 8 confirmed queens that ruled over some parts of the arabian peninsula. All of which belong to arab descent.
Arwa Al-Sulayhi, Zabibe, Samsi, Yatie, Te'el-hunu, Tabua, Adia, Sitt Al-Mulk
Ontop of that there were various female tribal leaders (sheikhat) before and after islam, Like sojyah (صوغية) who ruled over the tribal territories of bnu main in joint rule with her husband. Mind you tribalism was the primary form of governance in the middle part of the peninsula for a long time, just thought itd be fun to share!
I'm glad you added Matilda to this.
How was it that so many Ptolemaic dynasties were possible with so much in breeding but the Hapsburgs had so much trouble
Maybe a lot of cuckoldry occurred with that dynasty.
Inbreeding doesn’t create genetic disorders, it just hugely increases the chances of bad genes that already exist in a bloodline getting expressed. Marrying your sister won’t create a new disease, but you kid does have a much higher chance of getting a defective gene from both of you and therefore being ill. It could just be that the Ptolemaic dynasty was very lucky and didn’t really have any problems to pass on, although they did have a serious infertility/infant mortality issue
We will not consider legendary queens...
First person mentioned is Himiko.
Well that turned out to be a lie..

What is a regnant
In Latin it means "to reign" so a Queen Regnant means that the Queen rules in her own right not just a wife to the King but therefore a "Queen Regnant"
