It’s time to total up your answers and reveal the Medieval Queen you were in a past life!

A - Mélusine 
You are an it girl, and you’d never let anything as small as turning half-serpent every Saturday stop you. Your intelligence is often overlooked in favour of your style, but you still get things done behind the scenes. Your biggest pet peeves are getting blamed for men’s mistakes and being interrupted when you’re having a bath. 

B - Rhiannon
Rhiannon is an absolute babe who chose the man she wanted and decided to just ride past him every day in her best fit on her horse. Not just any horse though, a magical horse that appeared to go at quite a leisurely pace but was impossible for him to catch up with, until one day he called out for her to stop. You’re a go-getter and your confidence is unmatched. Go out there and make what you want chase you.

C - Æthelflæd
You’re tough and independent, and you could totally fight off the Vikings without breaking a sweat. You’re unafraid to be a pioneer, being the only case of a female Anglo-Saxon ruler (and the only person on this quiz who actually existed). You consider your greatest achievement to be being called “the dread of men” in a 12th-century poem, and you really hope someone erects a statue of you in your hometown after you die.

D - Medb
People sometimes think of you as a villain, but you just press play on 15 Minutes by Sabrina Carpenter and remind yourself that they say that about all women when they start winning. You’re a total hottie, to the point where men become two-thirds less brave when in the same room as you. You’re fantastic at advocating for yourself and have a hidden talent for livestock theft.
