Through most of history, male monarchs have been the norm. Their wives held the title of Queen or Empress, but were merely consorts, with little real power. Many monarchies, like France, The Ottoman Empire and Bhutan have strictly barred women from inheriting the throne and have never had a Queen Regnant, or a Queen in her own right. While others have rules loose enough that a handful of women have had the opportunity to claim the throne and become the highest authority in the land. Some achieved this by outliving their brothers, or not having any, some by seizing power from their husbands or male relatives, and a few actually married their own brothers in order to claim the throne. One nation on our list actually had a matrilineal monarchy for 300 years. Let’s take a look at the top 7 nations who have been ruled by 10 or more Queens Regnant:
7. Japan - 10 Queens & Empresses is Japan
6.Hawai’i - 13 Queens
5. Italy - 14 Queens
4. United Kingdom - 15 Queens
3. Spain - 17 Queens
2. Nigeria - 24 Queens
1. Egypt - 28 Queens

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. 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.
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.
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!
Damn, and Japan's current powers that be are so deeply against naming woman heir; as if it never happens 🙄
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
@@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.
ANOTHER Queens video?! Yes please! You're the Best Lindsay! My favorite ones have to be Elizabeth I and II, Catherine the Great and Queen Victoria
Happy women’s history month!
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 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?
@@enzoned2402 So sad but true.
Still feel India 🇮🇳 was miss presented there are so many Queens in India just to list
1•Lakshmibai Newalkar
2•Rani Durgavati
3•Razia Sultan
4•Maharani Sethu Lakshmi Bai
5•Rani Abbakka
6•Kittur Chennama
7•Ahilyabai Holkar
8•Tarabai
9•Rani velu nachiyar
10•Chand Bibi
What about Nur jahan
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 :)
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
Your pronunciation of difficult names and places is exquisite!
She didn't do too well with Japanese names
Wow. This 30-minute video obviously required a STAGGERING amount of research. Kudos.
How about a video about the Queens of Jerusalem, Tamar the Great of Georgia, Isabelle of Armenia or Charlotte of Cyprus?
you’re absolutely cooking this women’s history month 🔥🔥
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! 👑
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.
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 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.
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!👸👸👸👸👸👸
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.
The magnificent century & Kosem Magnificent century are not historically accurate.
@@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.
@@Itzduhhistorygirl
Ok.
I’ve just seen too many people that think that those shows are historically accurate.
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.
can you make a video about margaret Maid of Norway
Amazing you mentioned Urraca of Leon!!!
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
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.
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....
Holy moly. ⚘ Your vast amount of details reflect the vast amount of research done on this and all of your videos. My compliments. Outstanding.
Love ur video !! It improves my history test ❤
Whenever you said "Brother husband" during the cleopatra section, I'd crack up way more than I should.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯
I was waiting for this one for soooo long
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 vid, just a quick note all japanese g is pronounced as in gone
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!

@@Ekam78999don’t Indians hate Muslims? I am surprised you mentioned Razia Sultana. Also Lindsay has already made a video on Ahilyabai.
Love how you always put the maximum effort in pronouncing names❤
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:))
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.

oh wow....I had six for England. learning more and more each video!
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.
Thank you so much Ms Holiday for the amount of dedication and research that you put in your videos! Love hearing about these amazing queens during women's history month!
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?
You pronounce the names so beautifully. Great video!
Big fan of Lindsay but I feel she butchered the Japanese names though!!

I wish if you included every country. 😔 But thanks a lot for the video Lindsay, I really enjoyed it!
Also after Isabella II was deposed, there was an Italian king for a short while, then her son was king
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.
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!
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!
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?
Can you make a video about the story of Maria Feodorovna of Russia, the mother of Tsar Nicholas II?
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.
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.
nope, Jane wasn't supposed to be queen + didn't want to be@@malisle13descendantslover46
@@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
@@malisle13descendantslover46 Edward Vi didn't get Parliament to approve his devise of the succession, thus it wasn't legally accepted
@@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.
I just love these videos and they end far too soon!
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.
Cheers to more Queen videos!
Look at all this Egyptan Queen and we still only get Movies about Cleopatra that Cleopatra
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.
Can you pleaseeeeeee do video about Kamehameha, and how he came to power 😱👍🏾
Video request: a series about rulers of Ottoman Empire OR more videos about harams and concubines lives!
Hello! I found our acc when I was sick and I have watched so many of your videos MULTIPULE times.
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
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.
Like hearing about all the queens
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.
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.
You should do one on the longest raining queens in history
We will not consider legendary queens...
First person mentioned is Himiko.
Well that turned out to be a lie..
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
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
In Spain the succesion wasn´t changed until Felipe was crowned king, because he has two elder sisters.
I Am Nigerian and I never knew we had that much queens😮 I would appreciate it if you do a broadened video on them 🙏🏾 big fan
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.
My understanding is Himiko is also widely considered legendary
I wish you were my official history teacher
Correction: Joan II of Navarre was denied her claims to the throne until the she was the only agnatic descendant of Queen Joan I

Waiting for the episode about Nigerian royal families
Super Film
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?
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.
The U.K. did a great job allowing ladies to be Queen Regnants.
Youre forgetting Sheikh Hasina. She has emperor syndrome and the length of rulership to back it up.
What is it about Royal smiling family?Memverse talking about keeping it in the family
Go Egypt!🇪🇬
I'm glad you added Matilda to this.

Plenty of “illegitimate” kids who added fresh blood to the mix! (After all, if you’re gonna style yourself after ancient pharaohs you might as well include the additional royal wives and concubines who are there to provide more children in case something happens to the “legitimate” ones)

I suggest a video on WHY men have been in charge for so much of history.
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
Before I watch im gonna guess the Netherlands because they are known for having 3 Queen Regnants back to back
