Egypt
[edit]

The first verified female monarch of Egypt is Sobekneferu of theTwelfth dynasty. However, queens from earlier periods such asNeithhotep,Merneith andKhentkaus I held powerful positions and may have ruled Egypt in their own right, but the archaeological evidence is ambiguous.[2] Many of the Ptolemaic kings co-ruled with their queens. However,Arsinoe II,Berenice II,Arsinoe III andCleopatra I are considered monarchs by Sally-Ann Ashton, but not by Tara Sewell-Lasater.[3][4]
