I am the Queen of Thebes in Ancient Greece. My husband just died and the kingdom has no ruler since I have no son, only a young daughter. What happens now? Am I forced to remarry because I am not allowed as a woman to rule on my own? What is the standard procedure?
I am writing a fantasy book about a greedy queen that murders her husband in order to rule without him and I am trying to find a way for her to stand on her own despite the limited rights her gender offers.
Thank you to anyone that helps in my quest!
