Lady Sak K’uk’ (also known as Queen Muwaan Mat and Lady Beastie) was the second recorded female ruler of the Mayan city of Palenque. She rose to the position of Queen because there were no male candidates who were fit for kingship. In order to legitimize her rule, she declared divinity for herself as a creation goddess. Lady Sak K’uk’ would rule for three years until she abdicated in favour of her son, K’inich Janaab’ Pakal. K’inich Janaab’ Pakal would become known as one of the greatest Mayan Kings.
