Favorite list of royal women | Regnant queens (who crowed herself queen without her husbands)

Been a queen regnant is not always easy specially when you are married but mor common than one would think. Here four of my favorite queen that were married and despite what society, and often the husband himself, thought decided that her lands by heritage or conquest were only hers to rule. 

i. [1081-1116] Called The Reckless, Urraca was one of the most powerful reigning Queens of her time having inherithed the kingdom of León. Upon the death of her first husband she was convinced to marry Alfonso of Aragon the most successful warrior king of the Iberian Peninsula. It went horribly wrong. Personalities clashed and Alfonso emprisoned Urraca at one point. With Galicia rebelling and the Almoravides menace the spouses still went to war againts each other. Finally they separate and while Urraca still has a long way ahead and could keep most of her lands for herself.

ii. [1697-1731] Louise Hyppolite was at her time of birth the last Grimaldi. Monaco was under French control and it was decided that man from the French King family will be Louise’s husband and rule along with her. She was married and had to leave her land with her husband. Described as shy and submissive she did not enjoy her time at Versailles. When her father was ill she came back alone to Monaco and when he died she crowned herself Princess of Monaco with the people enthusiastic support naming her firstborn heir. There is no much her husband could do and though she ruled fr a short time she did it as the sole Princess.

iii. [1717-1780] Maria Theresia’s father Emperor Charles VI of the Roman Empire, did not prepared her to rule as he was convinced that her husband would rule for her. However, she had other plans and when her father died Maria Theresa, a 23 years old set to stablish her right as a moanrch against Prussia and most of Europe. She manage to gain ruling experience and be a monarch for 40 years. Though she deeply loved her husband she did not let him rule in her name and even refused to kneel in front of him when he was elected Holy Roman Emperor as she was of highest ruler. She was Sovereign of Hungary and Bohemia and Archduchess of Austria on her own right her husband being the consort. 

iv. [1583-1663] Njinga was Queen of Ndongo after her father and brother. At the time with the Portuguese slave trade Njinga became a symbol of resistance to the Europeans. In order to gain power in the center of the region she married an Imbangala leader and learned the techniques and strategies of his people. However when she set to conquer the kingdom of Matamba and ruled there as the Queen as Matamba had tradition of female rulers. As she gained influence she was recognized as one of the great queens of the region at the time.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT MARGARET OF HUNGARY Feast Day: January 18

Margaret was born to Béla IV, king of Hungary, at a moment when the country was threatened by enemies. So the king promised God that if things reversed in his favor he would dedicate his little princess to the religious life. The prayer was answered, and Béla put Margaret in the care of the Dominican Sisters at Veszprém. When Margaret was 12, Béla built a convent for her on an island in the Danube near Buda. There, the young teenager professed her vows.

A young woman of extraordinary beauty, St. Margaret attracted the attention of suitors even though she was a nun. Ottokar, the king of Bohemia, was determined to marry her. For political reasons, Béla liked the idea. He asked Margaret to get released from her commitments and marry Ottokar. Béla had not bargained for the steely resistance of his strong-willed daughter.

She responded to his request with defiance: "When I was only 7-years-old, you tried to espouse me to the Polish Duke. You will remember my answer then. I said that I wished to serve him only to whom you had espoused me at my birth. As a child, I would not yield to your will in opposition to God's claims on me. Do you think that I am likely to give in to you now that I am older and wiser? And am I more capable of grasping the greatness of the divine grace that has been given me? Then, my Father, stop trying to turn me from my determination to remain a religious. I prefer the heavenly kingdom to that which has been offered me by the King of Bohemia. I would rather die than obey these commands of yours that will bring death to my soul. Mark my words. If matters ever come to such a pass and I am driven to it, I will surely put an end to the whole affair by mutilating myself, so that I shall never again be desirable to any man."

So, Béla backed down. Witnesses say that had he persisted, gritty Margaret would likely have fulfilled her threat. Margaret punished herself with extreme self-abnegation that some observers call 'self-crucifixion.' She undertook the most menial and repugnant tasks. Butler’s Lives of the Saints says that she performed 'marvelous' service to the sick, so nauseating that its 'details cannot be set out before the fastidious modern reader.'

Out of sympathy for the poor, Margaret also imitated their squalor. She so neglected all personal hygiene, for example, that she repulsed her sisters. And for long periods she denied herself food and sleep. Since she was a princess and the convent was built for her, no one seems to have been able to temper her excesses. Her utter disregard for her body certainly shortened her life.

Margaret died on January 18, 1270 at the age of 28.

The church recognizes Margaret of Hungary as a saint in spite of the traces of willfulness and pride that seem to have marked her life. But she excelled in charity, and 'love covers over many a sin' (1 Peter 4:8 NJB). Those of us who want to be holy, but have many 'in-spite-ofs' to contend with, can be glad for that.

Crown of Princess Blanche

The Bohemian Crown is famously the oldest surviving royal crown to have been in England, dating back between 1370 to 1380. It most likely belonged to Queen Anne of Bohemia, wife of English king Richard II.

Crown of Saint Wenceslas

Part of the Bohemian crown jewels, the gemstone encrusted head adornment was created in 1346 for Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV.

Monomakh’s Cap

The golden skullcap is the oldest crown kept in the Kremlin, originating from the late 13th or early 14th century.Legend says that the medieval crown was given by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine Monomachus to the prince of Kiev, Vladimir Monomakh. Other theories suggest that it was given to Moscow by Uzbeg, Khan of the Golden Horde.

Holy Crown of Hungary

One of two Byzantine crowns that have survived to the present day, the oldest elements of this beautiful head adornment are believed to be from the 11th century.

Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire

Confusingly even though the headpiece is known as Charlemagne‘s Crown, it was made for Otto the Great in the 10th century. Created in the Byzantine style for the Holy Roman Emperor.

Crowns of Silla

During the early Middle Ages, parts of the Korean peninsula was ruled by the Silla Kingdom.

The Iron Crown

This may be the oldest Christian crown in history, made between the 4th and 5th century. Kept in Monza Cathedral, there is no clear knowledge for whom it was originally created.

Ptolemaic gold diadem

Following the death of Alexander the Great, Egypt was ruled by the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty.

The Diadem or Crown of Princess Sit-Hathor Yunet

The ancient head adornment is the oldest crown on this list, belonging to the daughter an Ancient Egyptian King of the 12th Dynasty (possibly Senusret II).

ANNA JAGIELLON

Queen of Bohemia and Hungary

(born 1503 - died 1547)

pictured above is a portrait of the Princess of Hungary and Bohemia, painted by Hans Maler of Schwaz circa 1519

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

ANNA was born in 1503. Though, sources diverge on the location of her birth. Some say she was born in Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia, while others say she was born in Buda, the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary. At the time of her birth, both Kingdoms were ruled by her father in a personal union, as Vladislav II, King of Bohemia, and as Ulászló II, King of Hungary.

Her father Władysław Jagiellon, was of Polish-Lithuanian origins, while her mother Anne of Foix was of French-Navarrese origins. Besides her father being on his third marriage, she was his only child.

She was a member of the JAGIELLONIAN DYNASTY, and from birth, she was technically a PRINCESS OF BOHEMIA AND HUNGARY. Though it is not certain if she was, in fact, styled as such.

Because of her gender she was never considered as a possible heir. So, when her mother was pregnant again in 1506, there was doubt about the gender of her future sibling.

Then, due to politics and to honour previous agreements, her father agreed that she would eventually marry a grandson of Maximilian I, King of the Romans, in order to secure a Habsburg succession in Bohemia and Hungary. But when a brother named Lajos was born, a Habsburg succession was put on hold.

Soon after the birth of her brother in July 1506, her mother died. She was only three years old at the time.

To ensure a safe succession, her father had her brother crowned as co-King in Hungary in 1508 and in Bohemia in 1509. To which her brother was recognized as Lajos, King of Hungary and Ludvik, King of Bohemia.

Around 1514-15, her father and uncle Zygmunt I, Monarch of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, started conversations again with Maximilian I, now the Holy Roman Emperor, to unite themselves against the Ottoman Empire.

So, to ratify the alliance made during the First Congress of Vienna in 1515, a double wedding was agreed. The Jagiellonian children would marry the grandchildren of the Emperor.

On the eve of her 12th birthday, in July 1515, her brother married Archduchess Maria of Austria, and she was married by proxy to Emperor Maximilian I, in the name of one of his grandsons.

pictured above is a portrait of the Princess of Bohemia and Hungary with her family and in-laws (from left to right, the Holy Roman Emperor, Archduchess Maria, the co-King of Hungary and Bohemia, the King of Bohemia and Hungary, herself, and the Monarch of Polish-Lithuania), a woodcut print that celebrates the success of the First Congress of Vienna made by Albrecht Dürer in 1515 as part of a large woodcut printed panel, the "Triumphal Arch of Emperor Maximilian I"

It is not certain if she moved to Vienna before or after the death of her father in 1516, when she was 12 years old. But it was only after that, it was decided her husband would be Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. So, another proxy wedding was celebrated because her bethroted lived in the Iberian Peninsula.

Nevertheless, her official wedding to FERDINAND, ARCHDUKE OF AUSTRIA, only took place in the 1520s. A contract was signed in 1520, and she finally met and married him in 1521, when they were both 22 years old. Though some sources say that she married him in May 1526. Her husband was the second son of the late Felipe I, King of Castile, and Juana, Queen of Castile.

As her husband was the ruler of the Archduchy of Austria, after the wedding, she became the ARCHDUCHESS OF AUSTRIA. And, she also became a member of the HOUSE OF HABSBURG. It was a happy marriage, and she had fifteen children with him.

Check a list of her children at the end of this post!

Anyhow, her life changed again with the death of her brother at the Battle of Mohács in August 1526.

If she was not a woman, she could have become Queen of Bohemia and Hungary in her own right. But, instead, her husband was successful on the much awaited Habsburg succession.

A couple of months later, in October 1526, her husband was elected as King of Bohemia, and she became the QUEEN CONSORT OF BOHEMIA. And, by December 1526, her husband was successfully elected as Ferdinánd I, King of Hungary, so she also became the QUEEN CONSORT OF HUNGARY. She was 23 years old at the time.

Later on, in 1531, her husband was elected as King of the Romans, also known as King of Germany, to one day become Holy Roman Emperor. And she, at the age of 27, became the QUEEN CONSORT OF THE ROMANS, or Queen Consort of Germany.

The Queen Consort of Bohemia, Hungary, and of the Romans died in 1547, aged 42. Just days after giving birth to a daughter in Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

Unfortunately, she never became Holy Roman Empress Consort because her husband would only be crowned Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, many years after her death, in 1556.

Yet, since the accession of her son Emperor Maximilian II in 1564 until the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and the Austrian Empire in the 19th century, all Emperors were her descendants.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

ANNA and her husband, FERDINAND, had fifteen children.

Archduchess Elisabeth of Austria - married to Zygmunt II August, Monarch of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth;

Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor - married to Archduchess María of Austria;

Archduchess Anna of Austria - married to Albrecht V, Duke of Bavaria;

Archduke Johann of Austria - died young;

Portrait of Princess Isabella of Parma

Artist: Jean-Marc Nattier (French, 1685 – 1766)

Genre: Portrait

Style: Rococo

Date: 1758

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Isabella of Bourbon-Parma (Spanish: Isabel María Luisa Antonieta, German: Isabella Maria Ludovica Antonia, French: Isabelle-Marie-Louise-Antoine; 31 December 1741 – 27 November 1763) was a princess of Parma and infanta of Spain from the House of Bourbon-Parma as the daughter of Philip, Duke of Parma and Louise-Élisabeth of France. She became an archduchess of Austria and crown princess of Bohemia and Hungary in 1760 by her marriage to Archduke Joseph of Austria, the future Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor.

An Enlightenment thinker, She was a prolific writer, and nineteen separate works (some of them unfinished) have been preserved from the three years of her marriage. In them, she discussed philosophy, religion, ethics, politics, diplomacy, military theory, world trade, education and childrearing, human culture and societies, and the position of women. In her writings (which she kept secret), she argued for the intellectual equality of women. None of her writings were published in her life; her Méditations chrétiennes ('Christian Meditations') were published in 1764, a year after her death. Some of her personal correspondence and other works have been published by biographers and historians.

Who ordered the death of king Wenceslaus III?

It's early afternoon of August 4th 1306 in beautiful Olomouc, Margraviate of Moravia. The young Bohemian king Wenceslaus III is a guest of the bishop, who offered him his hospitality on king's campaign to Poland. Václav had recently resigned his position as the king of Hungary, but now he's determined to defend his hereditary claim to the Polish crown.

Wenceslaus had just finnished lunch and decided to rest in private chambers. Suddenly there's a scream and the guards catch Konrad of Mulhov (1), a German knight, with a bloodied blade just outside of king's chambers. The king lies inside, stabbed to death. His death means the end of the Přemyslids, who had ruled Bohemia for over 400 years.

Konrad is killed immediately. We have the name of the killer (unless of course he was being framed), but even 700 years later we don't know who paid for king Wenceslaus' death. Even sources of that time can't agree on the culprit.

Elizabeth of Töss - a Hungarian princess, the last member of the House of Árpád. She was betrothed to Wenceslaus once. A king of Hungary and heir to the Bohemian throne is quite the catch. But once Wenceslaus gave up the Hungarian crown, the engagement was terminated. After this Elizabeth never got married and spent the rest of her life in a closter. The loss of an advantageous marriage and feelings of being betrayed seem like enough of a motive. But did Elizabeth have good enough connections to get a murderer right into king's chambers?

Charles Robert of Anjou- Wenceslaus took the Hungarian crown (thanks to his fathers political machinations) under quite tumultuous circumstances. After the previous king of Hungary got murdered, Charles Robert of Anjou was Wenceslaus' main opponent in pursuit of the crown and Wenceslaus' success only fanned the flames of opposition. It would make sense for Charles to get rid of his greatest rival. However when Wenceslaus gave up the Hungarian crown, he did so in favor of Otto of Bavaria. Would Charles ignore this new threat and arrange the death of his former rival?

Albert I of Germany - the king of Holy Roman Empire. Not too long ago he waged war Wenceslaus' father to slow down his rise in power. And even though he and Wenceslaus had made peace, the king of Bohemia still has a lot of power in the Empire. Plus since Wenceslaus has no legitimate children, if he dies, Bohemia will fall right into Albert's lap. After all, a few months after Wneceslaus' death Albert attacked the Bohemian kingdom to claim it for his son Rudolph. But had he been the culprit, would he wait that long?

Władysław I Łokietek - he's not happy with the Přemyslids ruling over Poland and would in fact like to claim the Polish crown for himself. He'd been campaigning against them for the past two years and now that Wenceslaus is coming to Poland with an army, it might be time to strike. But could he get a murderer to Wenceslaus' court?

Henry of Carinthia - while Wenceslaus is leading his army to Poland, Henry is his regent back in Prague. Maybe he would like the royal power for himself? His marriage with Anne, the eldest of Wenceslaus' sisters would only help with that. We know the Bohemian nobility elected him king after Wenceslaus' death, so did he decide to speed up the process?

The Bohemian nobility - over the past century they'd gained quite a lot of power and amassed several reasons to be mad at the king. It could be revenge for the execution of Zavis of Falkenstein, one of their own (2). It could be a solution to proprietary disputes. It could be an attempt to help one of Wenceslaus' opponents. But if such conspiracy had happened, wouldn't we have found out by now?

(1) Some sources name him as Konrad of Botenstein, but for the purposes of this poll it doesn't really matter.

(2) To me this doesn't feel like a valid reason since it was Wenceslaus' father who ordered to execute Zavis, but it is what some sources claim.

Royal women who died in childbirth in 15/16th century

There are misconceptions that Tudor were somehow unnaturaly cursed, more plagued by fertility issues and deaths in childbirths than the other dynasties.

Plenty of past royal miscarriages and stillbirths were not even recorded. But had they existed they could have contain similiarly grim acount.  But we can at least look at records of royal women who died in childbirth in 15th and 16th century:

During, or soon after childbirth/miscarriage:

Philippa of England, Queen of Denmark, Norway and Sweden in 1430

Catherine of Castille, Duchess of Villena in 1439

Catherine of Poděbrady, Queen of Hungary in 1464

Anne of Savoy(Crown Princess of Naples) in 1480

Isabella of Aragon, Queen of Portugal in 1498

Elizabeth of York, Queen of England in 1503

Anne of Foix-Candale, Queen of Bohemia and Hungary in 1506

Maria of Aragon, Queen of Portugal in 1517  

Jane Seymour, Queen of England in 1537

Isabella of Portugal, Holy Roman Empress in 1539

Maria Manuela of Portugal, Princess Asturias in 1545

Catherine Parr, Dowager Queen of England in 1548

Isabella of Valois, Queen of Spain in 1568

Claude of Valois, French Princess in 1575

Anne of Austria, Queen of Poland in 1598

Weeks/Months after(never recovered fully):

Catherine of Valois, Dowager Queen of England in 1437

Isabel Neville, Duchess of Clarence in 1476

Barbara Zápolya, Queen of Poland in 1515

Aditionally deaths of royal women:

Blanche of England died of fever in 1409, she was pregnant at the time

Mary of Burgundy died in 1482, weeks after she fell from horse and broke her back. She was pregnant at the time.

Claude of France, Queen of France  might have died from childbirth or miscarriage in 1524, although different causes are also speculated by historians-mainly illness and poison.

Catherine of Saxe-Lauenburg, Queen of Sweden died in 1535. She was pregnant and fell badly while dancing. The fall confined her to bed and lead to complications and eventually her death.

Joanna of Austria, Grand Duchess of Tuscany had fell from stairs in 1578 eight months pregnant. She then had premature labour where baby was in difficult position and both of them died.

Deaths due to cancer of reproductive organs:

Barbara Radziwiłł, Queen of Poland died in 1551. The cause was widely speculated at the time, but modern historians think it could have been cervical or ovarian cancer.

Mary I of England died in 1558 fallowing phantom pregnancy. Historians think it could have been ovarian or uterine cancer.

(Some might disagree with Catherine of Valois dying of childbirth. But imo, if you think her giving birth and her death detoriating not long after is not at least contributing factor, then you’re insane.)

It’s a lot of women. Those were the days. Men fought on battlefields and women had battlefield of their own. The most heartbreaking for me are the cases where mother died in childbirth and the child didn’t live or died young. 

I have probably missed some women. I mostly fallowed just main royal line. Queens, spouses of crown princes and blood princesses. But there should have also been wives of the rest of the princes, i just looked at few.

Also in some cases, the cause of death was not recorded, nor was there any theory about possible pregnancy pushed foward by historians. We can rule out those royal women who died pass their childbearing years. But younger ones we can only speculate about. Although in 16th century if the royal woman died of illness or generally poor health, usually it is mentioned. In 15th-usually nothing. 

So we will never get 100% accuracy, but i try.  

It’s certainly interesting to me reading that Queen of Sweden died after falling badly during dancing. I thought that period superstition(which lingers to today) that one should not dance is total bull. But aparently they had some dances which could cause pregnant lady harm. Idk, maybe some of those jumpy ones could cause woman to trip and fall very easily?

I will probably update this in future. Write to me if I made mistake in anything or if you know of any more royal women who died either in childbirth or after or while pregnant in 15/16th century. Or if you know anything more about death of Claude of France.
