The stars within the Cassiopeia constellation have been there in the sky since before our pre-human ancestors turned their eyes to the sky to see them. The constellation Cassiopeia doesn't really exist in the skies; the constellations exist only in our minds, as a pattern that we recognize.
The stories of Queen Cassiopeia come from Greek mythology, and are probably 4000 years old. We're not sure at what point the stories of the woman became conflated with the image of a throne or chair in the heavens, but this probably occurred about 3000 years ago.
The constellations in the skies probably became entangled with the myths and legends when storytellers and poets wanted to point to something that they could see and use it as an example or image for the story.
