List of Visigothic queens

The names of only a few of the queens of the Visigoths are known. As the Gothic monarchy was elective, all queens were such only as consorts of their husbands.

In his Chronicon John of Biclarum styles Goisuintha "queen" (regina) under the years 579 and 589. The wife of Reccared I subscribed to the canons of the Third Council of Toledo as "I, Baddo, glorious queen" (ego Baddo, gloriosa regina). There are at least three published studies on queenship among the Visigoths.

gollark: `gsub` actually returns multiple values. Because Lua, since it's the last thing passed to that function, `table.insert` is passed the string it returns and a number from it. `table.insert` has an overload where it takes `(table, position, value)` or something instead of `(table, value)`.
gollark: The alternative to having it be a GPS server thing would be per-dimension "dimservers" or something providing the dimension name (and possibly server name and metadata), which could work too I guess.]
gollark: The main problem I envision is that I haven't worked out a standard for dimension naming, so it just uses the one it receives the most fixes containing, which can be basically anything the GPS servers want, and that it won't function reliably without a large amount of dimension-enabled GPS servers.
gollark: I've patched dimension support into the GPS libraries in potatOS and my trilaterating GPS server. Would people be interested in dimension support in GPS and/or should I PR it into CC: Tweaked?
