Queen

"Why should I believe that this once belonged to the Queen of Spain?" "Do I look like the kind of man who would lie about a thing like that?" "Yes." "Fair enough! But do I also look like the kind of man who personally stole it from the Queen of Spain?" "Yes. I'll give you 20 pieces of silver for it."

- Tavern keeper and Jack Sparrow, talking about the Queen of Spain's beads

A queen regnant (plural "queens regnant") is a female monarch who reigns in her own right. On the other hand, a queen consort is the wife of a reigning king. A queen consort usually shares her husband's rank and holds the feminine equivalent of the king's monarchical titles. Queen consorts do not share the king regent's political and military powers. Most queens in history were queens consort.
