7 Of The Most Famous Queens In History

Behind every great man is a great woman, but who stands behind great women? Well, no one does. Our history books have seen quite a few queens, and the greatest queens we can imagine have always been great because of what they did – not their husbands.

Let’s take a look at some queens that had an amazing impact on history – good or bad.

Elizabeth II

Still alive at nearly 100 years old, there isn’t a person alive that doesn’t know the Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. She’s always been a tough cookie and age hasn’t made her any softer.

Marie-Antoinette

Too much can be too much, and then there’s too much that’s barely enough for Marie-Antoinette. She died in the French revolution, but we still don’t know whether her decadent lifestyle was her own choice or forced upon her by her peers.

Nefertiti

The second most famous Egyptian queen, Nefertiti was mostly known for introducing monotheism to Egypt and for being one of the few women that allegedly ruled as pharaoh alone.
