“Unveiling the Fearless Warrior Queens Who Changed the Course of History: Are You Ready to Meet the Legends?”
Although she was one of the King’s 64 wives, Hao wasn’t about to just sit down and be idle. Instead, she led numerous military campaigns – many of them successful. The Tu-Fang had battled against the Shang for generations, but Fu Hao led a single, carefully executed strategy that defeated them in one fell swoop. Her importance to the King continued after her passing, as he used the site of her tomb for many sacrifices, hoping to gain some spiritual guidance from her to defeat the Gong.
Artemisia I of Caria
Artemisia I of Caria was a revered Greek queen, ruling over Halicarnassus, Kos, Nisyros, and Kalymnos. Most of what we know about this Mediterranean goddess comes from the writings of Herodotus, who praises her courage and the respect she commanded from powerful men.
Xerxes, King of Persia, held her in such high regard that after he watched her in battle, he exclaimed, “My men have turned into women and my women have turned into men!” Artemisia tried to council Xerxes in his exploits, but he often went against her advice and lost in battle due to his pig-headedness. Legend has it that Artemisia fell in love with a man who didn’t return her sentiment, so she blinded him in his sleep. Unable to live with what she had done to the man she adored, an oracle told her to jump from the top of the rock of Leucas to rid herself of her feelings. Unfortunately, she didn’t survive the jump.
The Trung Sisters of Vietnam
The Trung Sisters were Vietnamese military leaders who got the job done better than any man on the team. The pair repelled Chinese invasions for more than three years, cementing their place in history as national heroines.
Born during the thousand-year Chinese occupation, the siblings held off the Chinese from their village by assembling an army of tough females. They were named Queens of Vietnam and continued to fight the good fight against the Chinese for two more years. According to legend, the Chinese marched into battle naked to try and shame the female fighters and ended up winning in 43 AD. Although accounts of the story vary, some state that the pair drowned themselves in the Hat Giang river after defeat, along with Phung Thi Chinh, a pregnant captain who gave birth on the front line and killed her baby to continue fighting.
Boudicca of Norfolk
Boudicca is one of the most famous warrior queens ever to have lived. Ruling over the British Celtic Iceni tribe, she was the wife of Prasutagus. Prasutagus ruled over his land as an ally of Rome and left his kingdom to be overseen jointly by his daughters and the Roman emperor. However, Rome rushed in and assumed total control. Boudicca was flogged and her daughters were taken advantage of.
Her people backed her as she led the uprising against the Romans, and they had no mercy. Her military attacks were so violent that they completely demolished Camulodunum (modern-day Colchester). Some pieces of literature claim that all Roman noblewomen were beheaded, their breasts chopped off and sewn onto their mouths. Eventually, Boudicca was defeated, with reports suggesting she took her own life to avoid capture.
Trieu Thi Trinh
When it comes to warriors, Vietnam knows how to make ‘em. Trieu Thi Trinh was a 3rd-century fighter who managed to keep occupying forces of the Wu Kingdom out of power. Trinh was orphaned at a young age. Her brother and his wife raised her as a slave, keeping her in appalling conditions.
At the age of 20, Trinh escaped into the jungle and used her pent-up anger to form an army of more than a 1,000 men and women. After liberating an area of the country, she claimed it as her own. It’s often said that by the age of 23, the young warrior had won over 30 battles, riding into the war on the back of an elephant, wearing golden armor and carrying a sword in each hand. She once said, “I’d like to ride storms, kill sharks in the open sea, drive out the aggressors, reconquer the country, undo the ties of serfdom, and never bend my back to be the concubine of whatever man.”
Ahhotep I of Egypt
Ahhotep I was one of the greatest queens to ever reign over Egypt. Ruling at some point toward the end of the Seventeenth Dynasty of Egypt, the daughter of Queen Tetisheri had a long and meaningful life. As with most things relating to ancient Egypt, not much is known about Ahhotep, but there’s enough evidence to suggest that she kept her house in order.
Her steward, Luf, mentions her in documents found. “She is the one who has accomplished the rites and taken care of Egypt. She has looked after her soldiers, she has guarded her, she has brought back her fugitives and collected together her deserters, she has pacified Upper Egypt and expelled her rebels.” What more could you want?
