The Royal Diaries

Growing up, born in the early 90’s, my absolute favorite book were The Royal Diaries series from Scholastic. These books were a spinoff from the Dear America books (which I also read). They followed the middle age/teenage years of historically important royal women. To be honest, my obsession with monarchies and my interest in history (and my history degree) can be firmly traced from this series.…

Yohl Ikʼnal, also known as Lady Kan Ik and Lady Kʼanal Ikʼnal, (died 7 November 604) was queen regnant of the Maya city-state of Palenque. She acceded to the throne on 23 December 583, and ruled until her death.

I’ll never part with these books 💛

And here are the other ten books in the series, which I don’t yet own but will someday.

Day five!

Yohl Ik’nal was ruler of the Maya city state of Palenque from 583 to 604.  Her dynasty would see two female rulers: herself, and her probable daughter or granddaughter Sak K’uk.  Palenque was one of the greatest of the classical Maya states, known for its architecture and art as well as military strength.  During her reign, Palenque lost a major battle to their rival, Calakmul, and were forced to pay tribute, but Yohl Ik’nal managed to hold on to her life and throne - an accomplishment in and of itself. Palenque struck back soon after, regaining its position as a major Maya power.

Yohl Ik’nal was the earliest known Maya queen regnant.  Her burial place is unknown, but multiple images of her adorn the famous tomb and sarcophagus of her best-known descendant, Kʼinich Janaabʼ Pakal, also known as Pacal the Great, who would lead Palenque into its golden age.

Lady of Palenque: Flower of Bacal, by Anna Kirwan. I took Spanish for all seven years of my secondary education and learned a lot about the Aztec empire, but little about the other early civilizations of what is now Latin America, including the Mayans.

The story is a bit hard to follow because there are so many characters and most have long names or titles, like hers. So I am not surprised that they called her “Lady” on the cover. Though Palenque and Bacal are two names for the same area, so it’s a little redundant.

Small note- the neon pink used for the cover is very bright IRL so those with photosensitivity might not want to look at it too long.

Goodreads star rating: 2/5
