Queen Gwendolen
Gwendolen was a legendary queen of Britain. She was the rejected queen of King Locrinus until she defeated her husban in battle and took the leadership of the Britons herself, becoming their first recorded queen regnant.
A daughter of Corineus, king of Cornwall, Gwendolen was married to Locrinus, the eldest of King Brutus's three sons. Upon her father's death, Locrinus divorced her in favour of his Germanic mistress, Estrildis (by whom he already had a daughter), and Gwendolen fled to Cornwall. Having built up a large army, she waged war against her ex-husband; a battle was fought near the river Stour, in which Locrinus was killed. After having both Estrildis and her daughter drowned in the river Severn, Gwendolen assumed her ex-husband's throne and ruled independently and peacefully for fifteen years, then abdicated in favor of her son and lived out the remainder of her life in Cornwall.
