12.7 Arwa al-Sulayhi, Last Queen of the Sulayhids (Yemen)
Manage episode 410569474 series 2870202
Yes! There have been Muslim queens who ruled their own countries! One of them was Arwa al-Sulayhi who ruled Yemen for 60 years in the 11th and 12th century. She outlasted her husband, her other husband, her son, and her other son, continuing to rule on her own authority through it all. Though the memory of her has faded, her mosque is still there, and so is her palace.
