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

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

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.

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 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.

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:))

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.

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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.

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.

    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]

    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.
