You know a Queen is a true warrior when she’s appointed ruler while the King is still alive. Tamar the Great reigned as the Queen of Georgia from 1184 to 1213, making her the first female ruler of her people. Her father, King Giorgi III, had so much confidence in his daughter’s abilities that he declared her co-ruler and heir apparent to stop there from being any dispute after his death.

Not only was Tamar a fierce force to be reckoned with, but she was also actively involved in the military, acting as commander of her army. Under her watchful eye, her kingdom flourished in every way possible. The great leader passed away in her early fifties due to an unnamed, devastating disease. Needless to say, her legend lived on.
