The royal family, a.k.a. the imperial house of the Snake King, made her the military governor of their kingdom. She outranked her husband, the king. And don’t let her dainty title fool you. Lady Waterlily-Hand, Princess of Calakmul, was the most powerful person in Waka in her lifetime.
From today’s Frisky Friday, “Warrior. Ruler. Holy Snake Lord. Getting to know Lady K’abel,” about a 7th century Mayan warrior queen. Highly recommended reading in its entirety.
