9 quirky queens in world history
It is not just men who have habits, monstrous actions that register history, but even women with supreme power will sometimes make things no one expected. That's right, what must be closed to the rules when you are holding supreme power.
1. Queen Mary (1867-1953)
The Guardian magazine revealed that Queen Mary - the grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II had a habit of not doing very well, it was a habit of stealing . Yes, you don't look wrong! She even took this action in a very "great clarity " way .
If one day the Queen visits your home, that would be the most honored thing, right? But what if then the Queen kept staring intently at a display in your home? Then if the Queen sighed and said that she was "caressing that thing with her eyes" ? At this point, you probably have no choice but to bring it to a beautiful gift and give it to the Queen.

If the Queen "keeps an eye" on your family heirloom, or your inheritance, the situation will get even worse. At this time, there will be no signs to be on guard, the Queen will simply take the object she likes while you are not paying attention. So what to do? Previous experience shows that every time the Queen comes to visit, people must hide all the precious things that she most likely will notice.
This situation of the Queen was so bad that her secretary always had to live in vigilance so that if any "strayed" item was found in her purse, she would find a way to return it to the owner. The paper that says "all is just a misunderstanding".
2. Queen Elizabeth (1709-1762) of Russia
The queen who ruled Russia throughout her life had a rather bizarre hobby, which could have been more or less influenced by the men around her. What is that? She has asked all courtiers to wear women's dresses to attend the evening party, but there is nothing more!
Back then, Queen Elizabeth liked to show off her legs because she believed she had an excellent "pair of legs." But the women of that time only had skirts that puffed up like a straw. And clothes for men are the opposite, quite tight and allow them to show off any curves on their bodies. Imagine that when she set up the court, she would be the only one in the middle of a bunch of breeches, so she ordered all to wear the same dress!

This order of hers made her niece, who later became Queen Catherine, quite interesting. And that was the only person with the same opinion as her. Other women don't see it, especially those with big and round legs. The most miserable are the men, who used to wear a tight skirt and now have to wear a big dress, it is very difficult to move, not to mention dancing. Even so, they have to use women's wigs too.
This disastrous turnaround sometimes caused a couple of minor accidents, such as when Catherine was dancing too enthusiastically, she stumbled by stepping on the dress of a gentleman nearby. Fortunately, after Elizabeth died, people do not continue such cases anymore, or else there will be many bad crying and funny accidents happening.
3. Queen Nzinga (1583-1663)
Nzinga queen of Angola is a person of work. At no time did she not think about the war against the Portuguese invaders, especially when her brother died and her successor. For the next 40 years, she defended her country's independence and held back the Portuguese. Busy like that, there is nowhere in her life for love anymore.
Therefore, Queen Nzinga has a beautiful "harem" of his time. According to her orders, because she had a male outfit, all "frequency bands" had to wear women's clothes.
Nzinga has a beautiful whole harem.
The queen also doesn't have the time to choose to favor any frequency so whenever she wants, she will order the two boys to fight with each other, she will still sleep with him.
When 75 years old, the Queen was too old and decided to release her harem but she still retained a youngest man in the crowd to vote for friends. Crime without doing that!
4. Queen Victoria (1819-1901)
Queen Victoria of England is deeply obsessed with death . Her relatives, like mother, daughter or husband, left when she was in office. This obsession was so profound that after her husband died, the Queen ordered mourning for a long time; even from then until the end of her life, she always dressed like a widow. Those are the information shared by Deseret News.
Queen Victoria is deeply obsessed with death and drugs, painkillers.
At the time of her life, the Queen often used drugs and opium, but those were all allowed at the time. In addition, the Queen is very interested in anesthesia, especially since she gave birth to her seventh child and the doctor must let her use this medicine for pain.
But at the time, anesthesia caused quite a bit of controversy and news that the Queen also used this "happiness-bringing" drug that caused no small chaos among the people.
5. Catherine the Great (1729-1796)
Catherine the Great is the most famous Queen who once ruled Russia and sustained the prosperity of the country. The latter knew a lot about her as a Queen whose sexual desire was quite high.
Different from kings who can be promiscuous to many people at a time, Catherine goes back to a "partner" for a while before changing to a new one. But with such busy work, how does the Queen have time to choose "partner" ? So she thought of a way, that is to appoint another person "to evaluate" the object for her.
Catherine once had a person who specialized in "type" of her lover to save time.
The person chosen here is Countess Bruce. The Poet and the Vampyre said that whenever the Queen noticed anyone, the Countess Bruce would "try" that person first; If the result is okay, then "switch" to Catherine. Of course, Countess Bruce did this with the highest devotion and responsibility; to the point that sometimes the Queen caught her back and forth with some people that Catherine had chosen.
6.
Marie Antoinette is probably the best known queen. She is the wife of Louis XVI and famous for her extravagant lifestyle . Whatever it is - these four words best describe her life perfectly. Wherever she went, she had a bunch of followers and offered anything she wanted. Gradually, Marie Antoinette herself felt cramped in such a life and sought to escape.
According to Château de Versailles, she had a small palace on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles but that still didn't seem enough. So she ordered to build a village to really see how poor farmers lived. The village where the Queen built has 11 cottages, a lake, a windmill, an active milking place, a farm and some houses that are often seen in the countryside.
Marie's efforts did not save her from the public execution.
The Queen also asked her guests to experience the life of the farmer. She ordered the women to pour out gorgeous clothes and wear simple and universal suits. She even brought her children to learn how to cultivate and raise animals.
But the French people considered her actions as mocking them and of course, her efforts to get closer to the working class were not recognized. She was beheaded in 1793 with her husband and children.
7. Queen Valeria Messalina (17 TCN-48 BC)
As a Queen, you can do whatever you want. Especially if you are the Queen of the mighty Roman Empire, your power will be limitless. With such power, why should one sit still all day?
It seems that Queen Valeria Messaline thinks so. But she has built and sold a brothel for years ! This incident has never been officially confirmed, believe it or not, but there are quite a lot of historians mentioning this.
Housing business is one of Valeria Messanline's favorite jobs.
The queen worked very hard even if she didn't have to. She personally owns a brothel with many girls practicing. In fact, she earned a huge profit from that business, and then "enticed" some upper class women to join.
Sometimes Valeria Messalina also set a goal for girls to see who sleeps with the most men in a night and she herself participated in the race. Usually the queen will be the winner with her number of "hand-crossed" men up to 25.
8. "Crazy" Queen Joanna of Castile (1479-1555)
Perhaps if she did not marry a hot moon flower husband, Joanna probably would not get caught up in the current "crazy" nickname. Each time the two of them argued, her husband, Philip, would lock her into a room until her anger collapsed. Therefore, whenever the anger reaches its peak, Joanna will punch the wall in the room consecutively until she is tired.
This happens quite often; even worse because Philip is a famous player. And this is also the cause of the distortion in the personality of Joanna - his wife.
Crazy "Joanna" kept her husband's body tight after his death.
After Philip died, it was rumored that Joanna kept his body in the room and did not let anyone touch her. According to her, Philip would only belong to her now, and of course she would keep her husband in any way she wanted.
According to Time magazine, Joanna ordered to delay the burial of her husband as long as possible; When she couldn't last longer, Joanna opened the lid of the coffin to make sure her husband's body was not stolen and even kissed her husband's feet. In addition, Joanna then banned all women from going to or going around Philip's burial site so that no one could seduce her husband again.
9. Queen Maria Eleonora (1599-1655)
Throughout her life, Maria Eleonora suffered from a number of neurological problems , most likely as a result of postpartum depression. As a queen, Maria understands that she is responsible for giving birth to the throne. But in the end she only had one daughter, even looking odd. After she died, people did not dare to inform her about the sex of the baby.
Maria Eleonora's whole life sought to have a son but only one daughter.
Mad Monarchs described her reaction to the news: "Instead of a son, I gave birth to an ugly and ugly daughter, her nose was big and her eyes were black. Take it away, I don't there is such a girl! " But the bad things continue, such as having a wooden stick falling on the princess's crib "mysteriously" , the princess "accidentally" falls down the stairs or once a nanny drops her to the ground. The stone seriously injured her shoulder.
Later when her husband died and her daughter reigned, Maria Eleonora was always living in fear, falling into poverty and retaliation.
