Tatyu Betul, Empress of Ethiopia from 1889 to 1913. 

More than simply the wife of Emperor Menelik II, she was a key advisor who played an active role in national affairs and led troops into battle in defence of Ethiopia’s independence. She founded churches, nunneries, hotels and banks and promoted secular education. Menelik was her 6th husband; after he suffered a stroke in 1909 she became de facto head of state until a plot to push her aside by other political players succeeded. Compared to more famous contemporary female rulers, e.g. Britain’s Queen-Empress Victoria, Tatyu wielded an extraordinary degree of political agency and she paved the way for female rule in Ethiopia: Menelik’s daughter or grand-daughter Zewditu became empress in her own right, albeit with future emperor Haile Selassie as regent.

What is most interesting to me is the connection with the Queen of Sheba who apparently is only briefly mentioned in one passage in the Bible, is unnamed and whose actual existence is disputed by many historians. Haile Selassie, who was crowned Emperor of Ethiopia in 1930 and around whom the Rastafari movement emerged, was said to have descended from the Solomonic dynasty, which according to legend began with King Solomon, the Queen of Sheba and their son Menelik I*.

(*Note the name of Tatyu Betul's husband is Menelik II.)

Not to be Controversial On Main but people who think that Tatyus' redemption arc wasn't earned don't understand empire's tribute...at all. Like I seriously don't know what show you were watching.
