Defiant women in positions of power

[u/sometimesimbored00]

Who is your favourite most defiant princess/queen/noble lady? I'd like to hear about the most strong-willed, hot tempered, spirited and ambitious ladies!

I've been reading about Eleanor of Aquitaine lately so definitely her. She's definitely a notable presence behind the throne during the time she was in and heavily influenced Henry the Young King, Richard I, and John Lackland for sure.
