The days varied. What a queen did depended on who she was, what she wanted to do, and what demands were placed on her.

Some queens retired lived quietly at court, fostering the arts and poetry.

Some queens spent their time raising their children.

Some fought with their husbands.

Some like to hunt.

Some queens were monarchs and ruled countries. Queen Margaret I of Denmark ruled that country, and also ruled Sweden, Norway, and Iceland.

Some queens were victims and spent their time in prison.

Some queens lead armies. Queen Æthelflæd of Mercia spent years kicking Vikings out of places they had settled.

Some queens did more than one of these things. Elinor of Aquitaine was a patron of the arts, married a king and had two children, lead a company of women soldiers on crusade, got a divorce (wow, in those days!) got married to another king, had more children, was imprisoned for years husband, and ruled as regent for her son when he was away.
