Sak Kʼukʼ[N 1] also known asMuwaan Mat,Lady Sak Kʼukʼ andLady Beastie (died 640), wasqueen of theMaya city-state ofPalenque. She acceded to the throne in October, 612 and ruled until 615.[N 2][2]
Her father wasJanahb Pakal and her mother wasYohl Ikʼnal or unknown.[3] As Janaab Pakal seems to have had no male heirs, she ascended to the throne on 19 October 612, a few months after her father's death. After his maturity, her sonKʼinich Janaab Pakal I succeeded her as ruler on 9.9.2.4.8 5 Lamat 1 Mol.[4][5] She seems to have continued to wield considerable influence over Palenque in the early decades of her son's reign. For example, Sak Kʼukʼ is recorded on Pakal's sarcophagus lid as the ruler who celebrated the sealing of theKʼatun on 9.10.0.0.0 (25 January 633 AD). She was probably mother ofAjen Yohl Mat.[6][7]
