History lesson for today

Today's (R rated) history class is about Female rulers.

If the ladies ruled the world, things would be different, wouldn't they?

Not really, but they might make some great movies.

TeaAtTrianon has the tale of Christina of Sweden,
whose antics horrified Sweden and the Pope, and who, although a virgin, fell in love with both men and women...

And then there is Sugarcube the "filthy Sultana", and her nemesis, the Sultan's mom Kosem...
---------------
And someone is reading history, because this lady did get her own movie:

Mary Bullen (the sister of Anne Boleyn, who preferred the fancier Frenchified spelling)...mistress of two kings, but queen of nowhere...
