What is the promised queen?
As an AI language model, I don't have information on any specific "promised queen" as there are many tales and legends around the world about queens who were promised, prophesied or foretold. However, here are some general information on the concept of the promised queen in mythology and fiction:
- In Arthurian legend, the promised queen is a figure who will come to heal the wounds of the land and bring Arthur's reign to its full glory. According to some versions, this queen is Guinevere, while in others she is a mysterious figure known as the Fisher King's daughter or the Lady of the Lake.
- In Greek mythology, a prophecy tells that a powerful woman will one day unite the Amazons and the Greeks under her rule. This figure is often identified as Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons who appears in the myth of Hercules and in various other tales.
- In George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, a prophecy states that a promised prince or princess will one day be born under a bleeding star and bring balance to the forces of ice and fire in the world. Some fans speculate that this promised prince/princess could be Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, or someone else entirely.
- In some African and Caribbean cultures, the promised queen is a figure associated with the Orisha Yemaya, a goddess of the ocean and motherhood. The promised queen is said to embody the qualities of fertility, nurturing, and protection, and to bring blessings to those who honor her.
- In various other myths and legends, the promised queen could be a figure who brings peace and prosperity to a troubled kingdom, who embodies the divine feminine, or who represents a certain quality or virtue (such as wisdom, love, or courage). The specifics of the promised queen's identity and role vary widely depending on the culture and the story.
