the six queens of Caninia

A queen is a female monarch that is the feminine equivalent of a King. Throughout the world, Queens appear to be just as powerful as kings, or in some cases, even moreso, with some kingdoms only being ruled by queens.

History

Friendship is Magic

Queen Chrysalis was the ruler of the Changelings for an unspecified period of time. It's possible that the tradition of Queen rulership in Hippogriff civilization dates back many thousands of years as well, as Hippogriffs were among the oldest civilizations in all the world, and had unified governments long before any other civilization.[1] After Princess Celestia and Princess Luna passed rule of Equestria over to her, Twilight Sparkle was referred to as a queen, specifically Queen of Equestria.

The oldest known Queen was Queen Cleopatrot of the (presumed) Anugyptian kingdom who ruled thousands of years prior to the Fateful day.[2] Cleopatrot appeared to be held in just-as-high regard as another Anugyptian monarch named "King Anubis".[3] Unlike Anubis, Cleopatrot didn't appear to be a cruel and unreasonable ruler, but still appeared to be selfish in her own regard.[2]

A handful of minor kingdoms within Equestria also appeared to be ruled over by queens, such as Trottingham, which was ruled by the evil Queen of Trottingham (though this queen in particular may have been fiction).[4] Although not confirmed, the Kingdom of Thicket presumably had a queen at some point in the Era of Twilight, given that King Aspen had a son, Prince Bramble.[5]

In The Mysterious South, the kingdom of Abyssinia was ruled by a ruling family of both king and queen, both of whom seemed equal, though the queen's more assertive, brave and intelligent personality may have made her the "dominant" monarch.[6]

Despite being a Princess, Princess Celestia has been referred to as a queen before, (albeit, in apocryphal material that may not be canon), meaning the difference between Queens and Princesses, at least in Equestria's royalty, may be a name one only.[7]

"Empresses" appear to be the equivalent of queens.
