The Queen of Hearts is a playing card character. as far as I know she is not based on any real, regnant monarch, past or present- one of the Navarre ( French) Queens- maybe Margaret ( or Margot) of Navarre, was given this nickname. I have heard it argued the somewhat dark and sinister Queen of Spades ( and espada means Sword in Spanish, not a type of shovel) may have been based on either an anonymous Female Knight or possibly the Black Madonna of Czestochowa ( pronounced Chest- a Hova). Holy Cow!
