This is a list of current and former female monarchs regardless of title, including queens regnant, empresses regnant, pharaohs and monarchs by other titles (grand duchess, princess, etc.). Consorts, such queens consort (i.e. spouses of male monarchs) are not included, see list of current consorts of sovereigns. Female regents are not included, see list of regents.

The following is an incomplete list of women monarchs who are well known from popular writings, although many ancient and poorly documented ruling monarchs (such as those from Africa and Oceania) are omitted. Section 1 lists monarchs who ruled in their own right, such as queens regnant. Section 2 lists legendary monarchs. Section 3 lists monarchs who ruled in their own right, but had no official legal recognition while in power. Section 4 lists various female rulers who were referred to with the title "Chieftainess." Regents, such as queens regent, are not monarchs and are not included in this page. Page does include claimants and anti-rulers whose recognition among their subjects and legitimacy as monarchs are disputed.

##### Egypt

[edit]

The first verified female monarch of Egypt is Sobekneferu of the Twelfth dynasty. However, queens from earlier periods such as Neithhotep, Merneith and Khentkaus I held powerful positions and may have ruled Egypt in their own right, but the archaeological evidence is ambiguous.[2] Many of the Ptolemaic kings co-ruled with their queens. However, Arsinoe II, Berenice II, Arsinoe III and Cleopatra I are considered monarchs by Sally-Ann Ashton, but not by Tara Sewell-Lasater.[3][4]

## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ She reigned until 1502, but titled herself queen only until 1477.
2. ^ She is the queen buried in Bar. 8. Her name is unknown.
3. ^ a b c d She also had the title of Queen of Ndongo, but in title only, as the Kingdom of Ndongo was destroyed in the Battle of Pungo Andongo in 1671.
4. ^ In 1284, Kertanegara attacked Bali and captured the queen of Bali. Her name is unknown.
5. ^ It is not her name, but it means "Queen of Iskandar Syah". Her name is unknown.
6. ^ She was an autonomous ruler. The Duchy of Sumenep, which was originally under the Mataram Sultanate, fell into the hands of the Dutch East India Company in 1705 and became an autonomous state.
7. ^ a b She was crowned with the title of rex ("king").
8. ^ She was also a titular Judge of Gallura in 1308–1339. The Republic of Pisa's possession of the Judicate of Gallura became definitive in 1308.
9. ^ a b She reigned as a puppet ruler. Napoleon I appointed his brothers and sisters as puppet rulers of the Client States of the French Empire.
10. ^ a b She reigned as an independent duchess. The Italian duchies, restored by the Congress of Vienna, became fully sovereign, because the Kingdom of Italy within the Holy Roman Empire was not restored.
11. ^ She reigned as an independent monarch only during her second reign. She also reigned in 1790–1796, but was not fully sovereign at that time, as the Kingdom of Italy within the Holy Roman Empire existed.
