We hear a lot about Kings who, upon losing their beloved wife to childbirth, exhaustion, etc. quickly moved on to bride number 2. And sometimes, 3, 4, 5, or even 6. But there were also plenty of Queens who, upon being widowed were enough of a catch that they promptly moved on to a newer model and took the consort throne again, of the same or a different country. Let’s meet 7 Queens who married 2 or more Kings.
Cleopatra VII, Pharaoh of Egypt
Zoe Porphyrogenita, Thrice Byzantine Empress
Emma of Normandy, Queen of England X2 and Queen of Denmark & Norway
Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen of France and Queen of England
Anne of Brittany, Queen of the Romans and X2 Queen of France
Eleanor of Austria, Queen of Portugal and Queen of France
Maria Francisca of Savoy, Queen of Portugal twice
