From today's AWAD definition....

"I chaffered with the king of those people, who was a wise and far-sighted woman, and brought her to understand that it would be much to her advantage to accept from me half the arms and ammunition I had brought with me."

Delia Sherman; The Parwat Ruby; Fantasy & Science Fiction (Cornwall, Connecticut); Jun 1999.

I've never heard of "King" being applied to a woman. Has anybody else? Does anybody know of any other instances when this has happened?
