Best Answer

Herodias, the sister-in-law, then wife, of Herod.

Mark 6:14-29 is the account in question. Herod married Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip (something that John spoke out against). Herodias then wanted John dead, so when her daughter (probably Solome) from her previous marriage, was asked to dance, Herodias asked her to request the head of John as payment.
