== The Queen in the SCA == |

In the event that a female fighter wins a [[Crown tournament]], the roles of King and Queen are reversed, or some arrangement to that effect is made. |
|||
In the [[SCA]] the Queen may gain her [[rank|position]] through [[right of arms]] (Queen Regnant or Queen Sovereign), or by being [[consort]] to such a [[King]] or [[Queen]] Arms (making her the Queen Consort). When a Queen steps down, she becomes a [[Countess]] (or some variant appropriate to her [[persona]]) if she has reigned once and in some kingdoms becomes a [[Order of the Rose|Lady of the Rose]]. If she has reigned twice or more, she becomes a [[Duchess]] (or variant). |
|||
In some kingdoms it is customary for the queen to use as [[arms]] the arms of the kingdom, whereas in others the queen has arms specific to her. The Queen of [[Lochac]], whether she is Queen Regnant or Queen Consort, uses the undifferenced [[Arms of the Kingdom of Lochac]]. However in [[Kingdom of the West|the West]] the Queen consort's arms differ from the kingdom's arms by containing a [[wreath of roses]] rather than a [[laurel wreath]]. |

The Queen is the current female ruler of a Kingdom. Any Queens and Kings ruling together are referred to as the Crown. She is addressed as Your Majesty, and referred to as Her (Royal) Majesty.
The Queen in the SCA
In the SCA the Queen may gain her position through right of arms (Queen Regnant or Queen Sovereign), or by being consort to such a King or Queen Arms (making her the Queen Consort). When a Queen steps down, she becomes a Countess (or some variant appropriate to her persona) if she has reigned once and in some kingdoms becomes a Lady of the Rose. If she has reigned twice or more, she becomes a Duchess (or variant).
In some kingdoms it is customary for the queen to use as arms the arms of the kingdom, whereas in others the queen has arms specific to her. The Queen of Lochac, whether she is Queen Regnant or Queen Consort, uses the undifferenced Arms of the Kingdom of Lochac. However in the West the Queen consort's arms differ from the kingdom's arms by containing a wreath of roses rather than a laurel wreath.
