Joanna the Mad produced only two monarhs. Unlike Joanna who was queen regnant (reigning queen, queen in her own right), her daughters were queens consort (queens due to their marriage to kings). Queens consort are not monarchs and they don't have any political power. Same case with Catherine d'Medici. Amsal

Queen Consort is threw marriage to the King. Queen Regnant inherits the thrown in her own right. Upon death the thrown would be succeeded by the next in line for the thrown. All this is the law of succession, all though rare situations have led to having two people on the thrown at the same time, Feb 1689 saw William III and Mary II of England which was authorised by the parliament. Exceptions to the above would be Catherine I and Catherine the Great of Russia, both of whom became Queens ( Empresses to be exact ) regnant on the death and deposition of their respective husbands.

Yes, but the Queen Mother died some years ago, so is not the current Queen Mum. Elizabeth II has been for 60 years a Regnant ( ruling) Queen, as distinguished from a Queen Mother or a Queen Consort. Queen Mary of ocean Liner fame was a Queen Consort, so it is incorrect, though people do it, to style her as (Queen Mary III). Mary died on 3.25.53 .

Because he wouldn't be a king.A male who inherits the throne in England, is the King. His wife may be called Queen, but she is a Queen consort - she does not share the king's military or political power.A female who inherits the throne is also a Queen, but she is a Queen regnant, and has all the powers of a king as described above. While her husband could be called a 'King consort', he does not have the powers of a reigning monarch, and so the term Prince or Prince Consort is used instead.
Why Elizabeth's II mother couldn't be queen any more after her husband died?
The former Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon continued to enjoy the rank and style of Queen after the death of her husband, King George VI. The Queen Mother, however, was not born into the Royal Family; she married into it. Thus she could never inherit the title of Queen Regnant - one who reigns as queen. The Queen Mother's title was Queen Consort - the wife of a king: a "Mrs. King." King George's and Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, was born into the Royal Family and did inherit the title of Queen Regnant.
