Which Queen Are You?

Medieval Jerusalem was the heart of Christendom, a strongly European realm that had been taken from the infidel hordes by gallant knights of the Crusades. Like Melisende, you are a romantic queen who seems to rule with effortless glamour. But it takes more than charm to survive as a queen in a world of kings who rule a foreign land where the natives are most definitely not friendly! You place your trust in God and your family, and you surround yourself with familiar faces and keep the traditional customs of your childhood.

Isabella's claim to fame is her support of Christopher Columbus's voyage to discover the New World, and without her sense of adventure, America might well have stayed the hidden land of myth for many more years. Like Isabella, you are a bold queen who knows her mind and is not afraid to take a risk in order to gain fame and riches.

Raziya Sultan's rule was short, but she went down in history as the only Indian woman to become Sultan of Delhi. Described as 'sagacious, just, beneficent, the patron of the learned, a dispenser of justice, the cherisher of her subjects, and of warlike talent,' Raziya was a passionate woman who fought against a strong, male-dominated society and proved her worthiness to rule. Like this queen, you combine a romantic soul with a warrior spirit and are determined to fight for what you deserve.

Chinese Empress Wu worked her way up from concubine to empress through a combination of political skill and persuasive charm. She was a formidable military leader who expanded the Chinese Empire, but she was also known as a just and tolerant ruler and patron of the arts. Like the empress, you know your strengths and use your talents to achieve your goals. You are an excellent judge of character, choosing your friends carefully and destroying your enemies with subtle skill.

No ruler has gone down in history as more of a classic queen than Her Royal Highness Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India. Although seen by the world as strict and formidable, Victoria had a soft side and relied deeply on the support of her husband and family. Just like Victoria, you care deeply about family and tradition, and gain satisfaction from being respected in your community.

Amina was the fierce and powerful Queen of Zaria in Northwest Nigeria, a skilled warrior who refused to marry, in fear of losing her power. Like Amina, you are tough and untamed, and you rule with upfront and honest strength rather than backroom deals and politics. You are not afraid to pick a fight and are confident that you can hold your own against anyone, anytime!
