If a King rules over a Kingdom why is it still called a Kingdom when it is ruled by a Queen?
Carcarion
The name kingdom is a combination form of "king's domain". Traditionally, men were owners/kings of a domain. If there is a Queen, meaning that there were no men to rule, then it was always a temporary situation. After all, women seldom passed down to a daughter. It was always a son according to the laws of primogeniture.
The primary point is that the kingdom already had fixed borders within the domain, so the changing of the title would have nothing to do with who ruled. The kingdom would still be the same domain after the Queen died.

Who can be a medieval queen?
The wife of a king is a queen, so anyone who was married to a king would be a queen and if they lived in the middle ages, she would have been a medieval queen. In addition, a very few women who were the daughters of kings or of claimants to a throne became queens in their own right. This was uncommon because the rules in most places only permitted males to rule a kingdom.
